If I am not mistaken, the Patriot and PRC springs are supplied by the same company. Flip a coin. Both excellent springs.

OK, who's got the best sale going? I emailed Gunnar at Patriot a few days ago and missed his sale.

Our Patriot Golds are a great choice. They are time tested and have proven themselves thousands of times over.
