Patriot Gold Spring?

Are these a direct bolt on? The heads are on the car so ill just have to remove my stock springs and install these with no issues or is there something I need to check?

You will have to replace the seats, meaning you will have to replace the valve seals. nothing a pair of pliers and a hammer and socket cant do though.

All you need to replace is seats and seals, use a 10mm deep well socket and a hammer to put the seals on. Springs are a direct bolt-on.

since this is somewhat of a newb question i guess i'll remind you to have the piston up top on the int and ex valve spring you're replacing so you dont drop the valve.

Use an air hold tool. I just used a compression tester, removed the schrader valve from the line, and hooked air to the guage side. Make sure your air compressor is on so you don't run out of air....
