hey guys im looking for a set of springs and 1.6rr for my lt1 with a cc305 and i found these on ebay what do you think to good to be true any one used them? heres the ebay item # 370356913807

 

$80 for springs and retainers?

Do you really need to ask this question

 

yeah thats what most ppl say but the more I see that everything is made by the same ppl or knock offs of somthing made by them I was hoping that it was the same with these. my roomate said they looked like a spring they use at his work.

 

I have used cheap springs on mild builds in the past with no issues. The specs look good. But the price is almost too low, especially when they are supposed to be made in the USA.

thats interesting I think I might give them a try if they look like crap or are outa spec Ill send them back and if when I put them in there no good them Ill get something better and use them in a stock motor or somthing. Ill be sure to let you all know how it turns out so you get a chance to say told you so.

 

Look at them closely for any surface defects and test the rate and pressure. If they look good and are in spec, go for it.

I am using this exact set right now. No issues what so ever. And the .600 lift is actually a very safe number with these. I called him and we talked for a while about installed height and the coil bind height number he gives is usually higher then what it really is, then takes .050" out for safety. So plenty of room on the lift. As seen in sig I am running the 847 w/ 1.6 rockers, so .595 on exh lift and I have not hit the valve stem seals(using top hat style).

Hope that helps.

 

I would be worried about bad things happening. I wouldn't even consider putting them in a Heads/Cam/Supercharged car. For your sake, spend the extra couple bucks.
