Default Yet another G5-X3 Question

Sorry for another G5-X3 question, but I allready have everything for the cam except the cam and springs because of the previous cam I had, but that one I only needed 918's. Now, I want a set of springs will hold it, but no fear of breaking. I found these - http://www.texas-speed.com/item_deta...ProductID=1115 - Now will those hold or do I need to get something else? Or is there something cheaper that I can use? Sorry for another G5-X3 Q&A, but I'm sure it wont be the last on this board.

These are a much better choice. The Cranes only have I think a 112 lb install seat pressure.Item:
Precision Race Components Dual Valve Spring Kit Rated Up to .660" Lift, 1997-2004 LS1/6 and 2005 LS2 Vehicles - NEW LOWER PRICE!
Price: $259.99
Many sponsors carry these springs.

We recommend only Comp 921s with all of our X series camshafts for reliablity and longevity.

Patriot Golds. I run them with my G5X3, and so does my friend.(Chris2000ss) They work flawlessly for the both of us. Hope this helps!

You can run the 918's but get them checked first and make sure you shim them to the right heigth.
