I need some valve springs for my car! i was looking into paying the big bucks and getting these

http://www.byunspeed.com/product_inf...oducts_id=7038

But i was wondering if these will work????

I would stay away from the generic ebay springs. You never know they could be fine............but...........then again.
Bottom line is you get what you pay for and valve springs is not the an area to go with cheap.
We can set you up with a set of Comp 26918-16 springs, 787-16 retainers and 648-16 locks for about the same price as the Patriots that you are looking at.

Well see im just trying to find a good set i can use with my cam? and its a cc305 and right now im using stock pushrods, rockers, and, lifters so its a .510 lift but when i get 1.6 rockers and new valvetrain it will go up to .544 so im trying to get springs that will be good for it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Nick

Wait wait wait wait wait - you're using STOCK PUSH RODS?

I have the pac 1218s, seem to be a good spring. And x2 on what b said. or did you mean stock length?

[white97z28]

Wait wait wait wait wait - you're using STOCK PUSH RODS?

Well im not buying rockers, or lifters either....im just kinda doing a summer build why the motor is out for machine work on the head because i cross threaded/broke a bolt off in the head...and i just thought while im replacing head gaskets and head bolts with studs i might as well put my cam in for a little summer fun...i know im not doing it 100% like i want to/should but i figured this will get me by and the heads and intake are being gasket matched...is it bad to use stock rods? Can i buy hardened stock rods?

You will need retainers and locks also with the Pac springs. You can get stock length hardened push rods. I have a set of used 7.050 push rods but depending on your set up they may be too short.
And as I said in an ealier post. We can set you up with a set of Comp 26918-16 springs, 787-16 retainers and 648-16 locks for about the same price as the Patriots that you are looking at. And we can also get you the Pac 1218's. You can drive down and pick them up and check out all of the cool stuff at our shop or we can also ship them.
Give us a call at the shop and we will set you up with everything that you need at a GREAT price with Excellent service.
