You honestly can probably use BC springs and retainers for what your doing.. If you wanna spend a little more because you know down the road you might be looking for more power/RPM then go with supertech ~90lb Duals.. I dont know if IX retainers are ti.. even if they are they wont sit proper in certain aftermarket springs anyway..

i am about to release some new valve train parts in the next 3 weeks for the 4g and for the 4B... they will both use a Pacloy Beehive spring. all i will say is that they are far supiour to the dual spring technology.
the 9 does not have ti retainers both the evo 8 and 9 use some kind of composite retainer... you can actual break one with a hammer and it will crack.. i really didnt look into what they will hold.
as for the kiggly spring kit, you deffinatly wont have a problem. the seat pressure on them is 90 on the intake and 95 on the exhaust at the seat. with out shimming.

I'm running the Kiggly springs with BC280 cams. 10,000 rpm without any issues. My advice would be to go with the Kiggly springs. Why go cheap now, then later down the road have to upgrade again. In the long run buying something once is cheaper and less annoying than having to do it twice.
