Default New PAC-1518 Nitrided Springs. (PAC Racing Springs).

Supposedly these are the cream of the crop springs, Brett Bauer highly recommended them. I bought these wanting to install them with my BRE cam. Turns out I have Impala heads with press fitted studs, boy that was fun to find out. So I ended up ordering and installing PAC 1218s instead because I had to run my 1.5 rockers. These 1518s were just too big for the stock rockers, I just didn't want to chance anything, that's why I just went with the 1218s instead.

These are LS1/LT1 springs btw, they are universal. Check it out for yourself...

I'm selling these brand new in the box for $250 shipped (ya even get the cool sticker).They are 356 from PAC plus another 25 or so for shipping and handling. I just want a fair price for them. I accept paypal and money orders.

Free bump for you because I am interested in these springs. Did the retainers come with them? If not what ones are you supposed to use? Locks?

Thanks. No retainers never cam with. I bought mine separately. I went with a 10 deg retainer from comp cams. I kind of went over kill and bought the titaniums CCA-794-16. The steel ones would work perfectly fine as well CCA-795-16. Those are the part numbers from summit. For thunderracing it's On thunder racing the part numbers are a little different. 63-795-16 and 63-794-16.

Thanks again for the bump as well.

That link is dead first of all. And secondly I live right by Speedinc. Your thinking of the 1218s that are $234. These are the 1518s that are heavy duty Nitrided. There is no way that these are 234. I looked all over they are $356.00 and I'm selling them brand new for 250.00. I posted the link to the price I paid for them and all. If you can't come to me with a legitimate link or way of backing yourself up please stay out of my thread, I'm just trying to sell some extra products I ended up not using after my cam swap.

Ok that works for me. The link above this post still doesn't show anything tho. Is that a special? Seems wayyy cheap if you ask me. Even comp cams doesn't sell there springs that cheap. Either way I paid 356 like the link says in my original post sorry I'm not changing my price. Unless you guys are buying them lets move on. Thanks tho.

Not trying to be a dick but he is right. Are you willing to do anything on the price with this new found info? I understand if your not cause I believe you paid the $356 when you bought them and it sucks they are cheaper now. Thanks for the pm

It's ok man but neh, sorry guys if that's the case I'll just hold on to them. Honestly I don't need them gone that bad. And I wish I new this at the time. Cause like I said speedinc is just a few miles from my house. If that's the case I'll just hold on to them and save them for my next build, whether it's LTx or LSx, they're compatible.
