My friend just ordered 1.6 rr's for his 96 Z28 and I was wondering if it was ok to put these on w/out putting heavier springs on there? Also about how long should it take me???
BTW: I'm very mechanicly inclined so I don't think it should be too difficult!

 

Well there are guys who have done it but i would not,i would advise you to get the LT4 springs,retainers and locks.

 

Me too. It's so easy to just change the springs at the same time. And you can pick up a set of LT4s for around $50.

 

Really?? From where?? Is that with retainers too??

 

Lots of guys who buy the Hot cam kit, opt for better springs. I see brand new LT4s in various for sale sections all the time. From $30 to $50. You don't need retainers. You can reuse your factory hardware. The LT4s are fine for a stock cam and 1.6s. Also you could check with some of the GM online discount guys like Dal.
