Default comp vs prc vs patriot

im looking at valve spring options and cant decide which ones to go with. i like how the prc and patriot kits are priced. whats your opinions on these different spring manufacturers? btw these are for dual springs.

I vote for the PRC EXT .675lift spring kit. This offers top quality and the most spring life.

Right here for the standard .650" lift spring kit that is similar to the Patriot kit. The EHT .675" lift capable spring kit has not been added to that section of the website yet, but is in stock and shipping daily by calling us at the number below

I would like to just point out, that IIRC there really is only like 2 Spring Companies, and all these name brands are made by the 2 companies, with there name on it. IIRC PAC is one of them.

Associated and Pioneer also make springs

There is NOTHING WRONG WITH A PATRIOT OR PRC DUAL
THEY WORK FINE and I have run them to 6800 repeatedly w/o float.

PSI AND PAC are of excellent quality but they should be as there more coin...

Im running both the comp 918's and patriot golds on my ta's. The 918's are on my boosted 99, and the patriot golds are on my h/c 01. I like them both but I honestly favor the patriots.

I am running PRC extreme lift valve springs that I got from TSP. I am happy with them so far. TSP has good service.
