Default What springs do you use on your t-rex?
Does it matter which brand of springs you use for a t-rex? I'm considering putting one in my car, and I want good quality springs.
I'd like to know which ones you guys used with the cam and if you broke any yet.

I would go Comp 921, that is what LG uses with their max effort cams. I dont think they have had any problems.
