You don't want to sacrifice reliability for price, especially when it comes to the valvetrain.

The Crane 10308 dual kit has been proven and (if you're not using the LT4 hotcam) is the best bang for the buck spring, retainer, locks, and seat kit. I used them with my XE 236/242 with fantastic results.

If you can't afford to buy a quality set of springs and hardware, I suggest you save. Or find someone willing to sell a gently used set.

I've got some brand new in box 918 beehives, seats, locks, retainers, valve stem seals, and comp hardened pushrods I'd sell you for $300 shipped if you're interested. I paid around $370 for all of it through Summit just a couple months ago. I've decided that I want to go with the Patriot set because they can handle some more lift than the Beehives, and I'm going to need it since I'll be running whatever cam I get on 1.7RR's.

These things were only $89 (brand new) ordered from Competition Products, and I doubt Lloyd would recc crappy or cheap springs. Just my 2 cents, so don't get hung up on a high priced spring as it is probably over priced to begin with.
