Springs for 1.6 RRs & stock cam??
Well i had some howard springs lined out for the cc503, but they are on back-order, & now that i've run the N2o, i'm just thinking of maybe installing the 1.6 RRs/springs/pushrods & putting the cam change on hold, Now will i be good to go with the LT4 springs & 1.6 RRs on the "stock" cam? If so, who has them for the best price?

Yes he can, & he recammended the Howard springs for my app., but they have been on back order for over a month from his supplier, the next spring in that same spec. is 50.00 more. Maybe i should just spend the extra, it just sucks, everytime i try & save a few bucks, i get screwed .lol.

I would do the LT4s rather than wear out more expensive aftermarket springs before you even have the cam upgrade done.
Howards Cams/Competition Products is just 30 minutes away from me, bought a few things there. Website is not as friendly as Summit or the like but certainly works.

If you are planning to change out springs when you install a cam, then yes I would use the LT4 springs for now. Like 96 says, and they are cheap...

Springs
If you want the best spring for your buck,and will work great with cc503,if you are adding latter,the isky 235-d is the best drop in spring $100,just buy new locks 2nd choice erson /pbm #3200($60),about the same as the isky or howards spring.I have a friend running the 3200s with a solid roller with .590 +lift(race car) spinning 6800 rpms,he has them at 1.80.

Cause you have to factor in the cost of gaskets, fluids, and cam. And the time it takes to remove the intake and cam. With just a cam swap, all you have to do is just remove the valve covers. With your logic, it would be better stated that he should install some quality springs that will last and handle a future cam upgrade so that he wouldn't have to swap springs twice.

Thanks, i looked into the Isky's 235-d, i can get them for 103.00, if they are indeed a drop in spring, i'll go that route incase i get a hair up my azz & install the cam sooner, i already have the cc503, got a good one on the cheap from a member, the main reason for not going through all of it right now is, i'm running the N2o, so i don't want to push too much HP through the bottom end with its mileage, i'de be around 475 with a 125 shot, & i'm having fun with just the Nitrous right now, i was all hyped up on changing the cam untill i ran the N2o, now i'm just going to lay low on it untill i get bored with the bottle, easier said then done lol, & changing springs/rockers/pushrods is MUCH easier & less time consumeing then changing the cam.
