X1000 do it right the first time! You might save $30 but is it worth your engine?

A 918 spring is cheap enough.. don't do it.

I am running doubles with the same cam rated to .650 only because I bought them with hopes and dreams of running something that big. You will be fine with singles

i run a single and they have been great for me. my cam is 228/230 .571/.573 and i'm using pac 1518's. you can use your stock retainers with these also.

Well i have a guy right now that want to sell me a set of dual comp springs that are good up to .675 lift what do you guys think about that. the lift on my cam is .588 would they be to much for my cam?

if they are used i would pass on them. you dont know if they are worn out or not. look at comp 918 springs or pac 1218/1518 springs. all three of these will get the job done for you.

Ok, appreciate it. He told me they have 300 miles on them and he has em for a good price so that why I was thinking about getting them.

you dont know milage or condition for sure. the only way to know is to have the springs tested after you get them but you might end up with bad results.

Truth



I just bought a set from WS6Store.com for $255.00 they come with titanium retainers, valve seals, and bases, and valve locks. Might as well buy new that piece of mind is worth far more than the couple bucks you saved buying the used springs.


here is a link to the kit

Well I'm sorry, I guess I should had be more specific. most EBAY sellers are not up to par with the quality that the venders on here provide.

That's pretty vague... I've seen everything from the new Lunati's to used Manley Nexteks with a starting price of $9.99 on E-Bay. I wouldn't hesitate to buy new springs from a trusted store or even some of the used ones if the price (and vendor) was right. As always, you'd check them before using!

If its a lunati, pac, patriot, etc spring on ebay for a good price... buy em.
If its a brand you've never heard of, well then maybe you want to reconsider.
