Prc springs are high quality and a nice piece can't go wrong. I know a few guys that were going to try out those lunati soeings though since they are cheap. Remember you get what you pay for though

I have the PRC Dual springs from Texas Speed and I'm happy with them.

I have new springs dyno checked at both installed height and max lift, noting the spring pressure at each measurement. Anything more than 5psi out of range gets returned and replaced.

High quality springs are generally within a pound or two of each other, and any outliers are way more than 5# off.
