Brian Tooley has .660" rated lift platinum dual springs polished with seals, locks and retainers. Your choice of steel or titanium retainers. Check his web site. These are top notch spring kits, just installed a set on my 2000 ss with new cam and heads.

For the .620-.650 lift range, his kits are not much cheaper than the duals. It really looks like he wants to press the duals instead of say the 1518s based off price alone with his kits.
Setup properly the beehive is all you would need really, but you would want to take the time to shim them correctly and get the pressures you want. I like the Manley beehives over the say 1518s as they are a better material and have a better pressure range.

there is also a company who bought out patriot who is offering a good setup as well.

Tell me how they are not? Do you actually know the metalurgy of each spring? The PAC is a proprietary blend that is cutting edge, and not cheap. Hence the large reason of the cost difference in a PAC spring compared to most competitors.

you are not going to get the specifics of the metalurgy composition. No one but us and the supplier know's that.
As far as pricing, look on other sites too. They will all be different prices.

C'mon man...we're not asking if the electrons are break dancing to "Thriller" in a polarized fashion around the protons in a covalent bond while being cryogenically vaccum degassed. I mean sheesh; less rusty Toyota Cressida fender melted in the alloy or perhaps lots more good'r or something that lets us mere mortals know that DAMN those springs are the Schnizzle....I'm gonna buy me a set just in case; for the future...........

LOL. Think of it this way, most resellers will not even tell you who's spring you are using. With PAC you can be assured you have a PAC manufactured spring (made in Detroit, not off shore).
