Need an opinion....
Hey guys I've been slowly modding my car with the basic bolt on's Functional Ram-Air Box, LT's, ORY, LM1, 3:73's, !EGR, !AIR, !ABS, TB bypass, and MT Drag radials.
My question is, i'm saving up for my LE2 setup for next winter and until then I was curious if I could just go ahead and get my 1.6 RR's and put them on the stock springs and pushrods for now until next winter when I do the complete Cam, heads, springs etc. I want to get the most out of it this summer until I tear it down again next winter. Are the stock springs strong enough for the 1.6's? or should I just wait and do it all at once? I understand they are pretty weak springs and I don't want to ruin anything before I tear it down again.
Car has 104K of hard racing under it's belt but it runs flawlessly.
Thanks

Get all the parts at once, let Lloyd install the springs, guides and studs correctly and ship them to you ready to bolt up.
I see no reason to go though this twice.
here's my shopping list from my first LE H/C install.

Haha this is why I come to you guys first before I do something stupid.
I've never set up a valvetrain on a car and don't want to screw it up so yes I would rather have lloyd do it and know that it is correct.
Thanks for the input guys!
