Like TJ said you can get the stockers c-clipped.If you get 1.8's you can use them on ported heads but if you ever change your cam you will be limited to the size.If you do plan to ever change your cam you'd be better off not getting the 1.8's.That way you can just have the cam you want with out having to worry about the extra lift.

If your just starting to mod I wouldn't even do rockers.There's far more things to get first.For the power you'd pic up over stockers they arent worth it.I went with Crane 1.8's,but I already have a small cam and didnt want to change it.

Bottom line,you need to figure out what your goal is with your car and go from there.Then buy parts as you can to compliment your goal.

i guess the best advice is price per HP. for what you are gonna pay for rockers, run your stockers and buy a cam.
save for springs and retainers and pick up a real 40+hp instead of 4hp.
