Default Quick question about valve springs?

I have a set of the PRC dual gold springs in my heads and they've been in there for a few years, maybe 10 - 15 thousand miles tops, not a lot of street miles, but a lot of high rpm 1/4 mile passes, so I'm thinkin it's time to replace them just to be safe as a precaution. So my question is, do they sell just the springs to replace them or do I have to buy a whole kit with the retainers and everything? Thanks for any help guys!

That's a good question. I don't see just the springs listed on TSP's website. I would call them, I'm sure they'll work something out with you. I know you can buy the Patriot Gold springs individually for about $8 a piece as an alternate option.

If I can't end up getting just the springs on the prc's, where do I buy those patriot singles?

Scroll 1/2 way down. They list their standard .650" lift dual springs for $8.
