Default Crane Dual Springs? GOOD?

How are the Crane Dual Springs?
My tuner installer wants to use these. Are they one of the best? How often would springs have to be changed for maintenence?

Thanks

There are better dual springs IMO (patriot or PRC). But if TTP wants to use them on there cam (I'm assuming they are installing) then maybe they have some reason. Spring life will depend on the cam (lift, ramp rates etc..). If I remember correctly that cam is pretty large. You'll probably be checking spring pressures at 15 - 20k.

The crane duals (832's), are really good springs.
You will most likely have to shim them though.
