Default 15k miles on my setup

With my xer cam 228 232 111lsa in my sig, with about 15k on it, when should I start worrying about my dual springs failing ? Which dual springs do recommend for afr205 heads? I don't street race or track the car but do hammer on it from time to time. Haven't been on the site that much lately and looks like my setup is way outdated lol. Also need 4 new tires. What you guys recommend for 450rwhp?
Thanks Pat

With an XE-R cam I'd definitely at least check the pressures, if not just replace them. What springs do you have now? The least expensive route is usually to just use the same springs so you can reuse the hardware. Unless you had an issue with your current duals, that's what I'd recommend.

I'm not sure the brand of springs till I pull the valve covers, but they are whatever dual springs that came with the afr205 when I got them. No problems with them at all so far.
