Which springs with Crane 1.8 rocker kit?
I picked up a used Crane 1.8 rocker kit from a local guy, and have the instructions printed out. Hoping the shop that does the install follows them precisely... Every shop I've talked to says they are a pain to install.
Anyway, which springs should I go with? Car is a 2004 GTO 6 speed with stock cam and heads. No plans to upgrade cam. Just going with some longtube headers...
I drive about 25,000 miles per year, and would like the springs to last... Is there any reason not to go with these from one of the sponsors, or is there a better spring "suited" to these rockers?

for the stock cam, in the wife's car, i used the vinci/crane springs dual springs at the same time i had the rockers installed. been in since april 2004. when last checked about one month ago, they were still within specs.
i think xtrooper had comp springs with the vinci/crane 1.8 rockers. had some valve float issues. switched to the vinci/crane springs and the valve float went away.
