Default spring kits

In the process of looking up parts for a cam I wasnt sure what spring kit would work best. I was looking into the 503 cam. Kits I saw were: Patriot Performance Gold Spring kit, Comp Cams "918" Spring kit, Comp Cams "921" spring kit, and Comp cams "987" spring kit. The comp cams kits said they were for ls1's so was hoping for some feedback and/or suggestions.

go for the SDPC beehive spring. Its really a pac 918. I just bought them for my setup. Should be all the spring you need for the 503. they're only $123.

Cool, wasnt sure if it was just for the ls1. It doesnt show but is that a kit? Hoping to get all I need in a kit or at least as much as I can.

no that's not a kit just the springs. they may have a kit available with those. you'll have to call and find out. if for any reason you decide to get the comp 918s instead make sure you get the udpated grey ones with the with the white stripes.
