Default found my problem, broken vs

when i changed my cam a couple of months ago i also installed new crane valve springs. also set at the correct seat pressure and installed height. well last week while driving in traffic it started missing for no reason and threw no codes. so i spent all weekend checking everthing and found the # 6 cylinder exaust spring broken.
i put one of my old crower springs back on that valve and all is well now.
why would a spring break with only @2000 miles on it.
time to change all of them i guess. any suggestions, are the comp beehives any good?

Sometime's they just break. I have had stock, mild and wild setups break springs that were set up properly.

I had several dampers come apart for no apparent reason. What does Crane say? They may give you a new set.
