If you plan on putting a cam in the car, and know which one you're going with, buy the springs for it NOW and save some time when the cam install comes...

They were..
A tech at Comp assured me thats a non issue, and that the majority of them that broke were not properly installed/adjusted.

i ran the crane gold 1.6 rr self aligning rockers for about a year or so without changing the springs. i just bolted them up and went. picked up a few mph with them.

when i changed cams i went with bigger springs and titanium retainers and the crane rockers wouldnt even come close to clearing them. i had to switch to comp pro mags to claer the springs and retainers. just something to think about if you plan on going with a bigger cam in the future. im running the k-moton k-800 springs and comp titanium ratainers FWIW.
