COMP Cams offers a complete line of valve seals, from the stock GM O-rings to the positive-stop Teflon® seals. These seals are a must to keep unwanted oil from entering the combustion chamber through the clearance in the valve guides. The O-ring seals use the standard retainer and oil splash shield. The umbrella seals are normally used when a larger-than-stock diameter spring is used. In the case of a double spring, the positive stop Teflon® seals are used. For triple-spring applications, use the smaller-diameter Viton® seals.

to be honest im not 100% sure if they are. but im pretty sure its all the same, rubber umbrella seals are for singles, teflan for doubles and viton for triples. maybe summit tech line could tell you for sure if you told them what springs you bought or someone will chime in and tell you if you need them. i got them with my springs though since it was suggested and ive read a few tiems on here the normal seals dont work with double springs.
