I don't remember the spring issue actually coming up with these cars. Seems like if it were really a problem, people here would have had it by now.
However, the engines are not bulletproof. I lost mine at 65K miles when the oil pump gear broke up, starving the motor of oil, spinning two bearings and wrecking one of the heads in a matter of a few seconds. The motor was stock and not abused.
I've only found one other instance of that happening, and I consider mine to be a fluke. I'd do it all over again in a second. Just don't go into it with unrealistic expectations about the engine lasting forever, because with any mechanical things, shit happens.

^^^^ This. Nobody posts about the day their engine didn't break.
