If I was going thru the job of changing the springs, I wouldnt put used springs in unless they were free. Thats my 2¢ though.

Not sure on your plans with the cam swap, but fwiw, the yellow springs are rated to .580 lift.

I would spend the extra $150 and get some nice new springs that way you know their history.

You're damn sure gonna need more than some used yellow springs for the MS4. You're gonna need a double spring kit capable of handling .650 lift or more.
