I now have 2 friends running the Brian Tooley springs. Excellent bang for buck and have an excellent reputation among the forum here as well. I will run them when my Patriot Golds are done.

Aren't you glad you asked?

My friends got the "platinum kit" instead of the "extreme kit" I posted, but since the extremes are the same price I would order those while they're on sale.

You can also replace the springs for around $130 (for the platinums) without buying a new kit when it comes time to replace them.

IIRC Brian said they are treated differently to last longer, not sure why they are on sale but yes they should be the better kit
