Shawn,

Just bought the Comp 921 kit (w/titanium retainers, seats, seals, etc.) to go with the T-Rex. (the one I bought off you several weeks ago)

A little pricey, but I figure better save than sorry!

My $0.02 worth.

I looked on Patriots website for the gold springs, but it was not listed yet. Does Patriot have a kit that comes with the gold springs? Terry or anyone else can you shoot me a PM with the price. Thanks

i believe you can get them from patriot or texas speed

as for me im running crane duals which are performing great for my needs. i got these before the patriot golds came out and i feel both are great springs. the next time i need valve springs i will most likely go with the patriots

I can tell you one thing stay away from REVs. Who makes those patriot springs? the latest set of REVs are gold too, and my buddy has broken 4 of them so far, I just don't understand why they are not holding up.

I agree, all the springs you listed are great springs! I would look at Crane or Manley. I offer a kit from both company's With springs, tit. retainers, & seats for $299.00. They are both good to 650 lift but, the seat pressure on the Manley springs are a bit more and may help with valve float at high RPM. Both sets of spring are good quality, we buy them in bulk to get the best deal! PM or e-mail me for more info...
