Default What springs for possible setup?

All this on a 2000 TA, in case that's needed...

Ok, currently have SLP 1.85 rockers install with the stock LS1 cam. I'm thinking of moving to an 02 Z06 cam, due to an extremely good price and for a couple other reasons. I'd like to keep the 1.85s in, just need to know what a good spring would be to use with that combo. The adjusted lift for a Z06 cam with 1.85s (if the information I have is correct) is just shy of .600...

Any suggestions? Members, sponsors, Bueller?

So, if I'm reading things right (on a couple Crane product pages from some sponsors), I'd not only need the springs, but also the hardened spring seats, the stem seals, and retainers? Are the stock seats, seals and retainers not strong enough for these springs?
