Default REV dual valve spring question

I sold my car in March of last year to a very nice guy from TN. Two months after he purchased it he broke two REV dual springs (226 .581 114 LSA Comp Cam). He replaced all springs with REV duals again. He just called me and has broken another spring (8 months after replacing them). Does anyone know of a systemic problem with these springs? What is the normal warranty on this type of item? I am not sure if "racing items" are waranteed? Just trying to help the guy out and I am not sure and of course can not call REV since I did not buy the second set of springs. Thanks for any help

We had a ton of problems with them a few years ago. It seems like they still don't have it figured out. Put Comp 921's in and never worry about it again. Good luck getting any money out of them.

Do you know if they have any type of warranty? Do you still deal with them? Thanks
