Question What Valve Springs... Help

I just found a spring that is broke. I am going to drive to Summit Racing tomorrow morning to get a set so I can get my car back on the road. I'm not sure what all they sell but I know they sell these...
1. Comp Cam
2. Trick Flow
And I don't know what other ones they have but I wanted y'alls opinions on what to get. "Yes I have a decent size cam". I just needed some help choosing what to get. Thanks for the help

Specs on the camshaft, valves used, pushrods, rocker arms, and lifters please. Also, RPM range and intended use.

We need more info about your current camshaft specs, what valve springs are in it singles or duals, and what model # they are.

There are very very few spring manufacturers so stop fixating on brand names for companies that don't even manufacture.

As others have said cam specs are CRITICAL the discussion can't start without that.

I understand what you are saying is correct, but he was trying to pick them up in person and was stating what brands he thought summit carried, in a round about way saying don't recommend some crap that is off the wall that summit won't have. Its critical posters understand this before making suggestions! For future reference....
