Default Some Good Reasonably Priced Roller Rockers?

I am going to be replacing a bunch of parts on my car within the next week including the opti so I have been thinking bout buyin a used cc503 or hotcam and "Alex Parts" Valve Spring kit, but what are some good/not too expensive rockers? I would like to keep stock valve covers.

Self aligning or non-self aligning?

You usually get what you pay for when it comes to internals. If you want good and cheap you should look in the classifieds

Summit makes a good set for about $250, otherwise, just check the for sale section

I daily drove my car with ProForm 1.5 rockers and a ZZ4 cam, rockers held up fine and are actually collecting dust in the garage always meant to put them on my wagon never got around to it. I put Comp ProMags on when I did the AI heads/cam setup. The ProForms were good to me but I did not want to put them with miles on them already in a motor with a lot more aggressive cam and more rpm.

After spending a lot of money doing things cheap I began trying to do them ONCE. The cheap stuff never really failed but left no room to grow.

I'm running the hotcam with no complaints other than I now have a high rpm miss. Also running those Alex Parts valve springs no complaints on them yet and have been revving to 6200-6300. As for rockers I got a new set of crane golds S/A for 200-250$ in the classifieds great rockers but good luck finding that price. Good Luck on your build!
