Yes- they are drop-in springs. Comes with springs, seats, retainers and seals.

Good luck with the springs. I have them on my Patriot heads. I have peace of mind that there's 2 springs in case one fails to hold up my valves.

The gold springs come on every set of heads we sell.This is not an option.We use this spring exclusively.

I'm loving the ones on my heads.. wish I had clear valve covers so I could see the springs and the Yella Terra's in there.
Btw.. those pics don't do them justice They are much prettier in person
