Default which springs

i will be puttin on 1.6 rockers. should i go with a spring that will handle just the rockers, or should i go with one that will handle a cam in the future? and which springs should i go with? cam i was looking at was a 224/230 but not anytime soon.

so question is, should i go with springs to handle the cam or just hte 1.6 for now. will too big of springs damage anything?

I have a Comp custom grind. 224/230 .574/.570 and I will be running the Crane 10308 kit. Comp recomends their beehive spring (of course) but the Crane is a double spring setup and has worked for others that are running similar setups.

I run the combination motorsports EX-612 springs with my cc306. I like them they are a quality spring and are priced very nice.
