Just got my dual spring kit in from TSP. I ordered the PRC kit and have a couple questions.
1. The seats all look great except for 2 of them are diff than the others. They have a jagged edge like they were not filed down around the lip that holds the spring, plus the diameter of that lip that holds the spring is smaller than the rest of them so the spring moves around more. Is this going to cause any problems? Should I file down the lip? I dont want to srat shaving my brand new seats but want to be sure they dont gouge up my spring to and cause dammage later on. It doesnt seem right to me but I've never installed springs before.
2. everyone that I've heard mention the exh and int valve seals say they are different which is why one is black and one brown. Well I have 16 of them but they are all identicle. Are they all suppost to be the exact same?

I've never bought anythign from TSP but have never heard anyone complain about them and John seems to be a pretty nice guy the little I've talked to him.
I guess I'll just try back first thing in the morning and see if I can get someone on the phone again.

I called and sent them pics of the seats and they said some bad ones somehow must have slipped through the cracks somehow. Good thing I noticed this when i got the springs in and didnt try to put them in the car!
