Need thoughts
If you guys were running CC 306 cam, which springs would you use the Comp springs or patriot springs.....Just wondering which spring is the better of the two for the money........
|
I really need to know which way to here, which springs are the best and would match the best
|
just get the pac 1218 or 1518
|
Well, AFAIK Comp doesn't make their own springs. Patriot is one the three companies that essentially makes them all. PAC makes a lot of the Comp springs and I have heard (but am not sure) that Patriot also manufactures for Comp. So, as to which is better the answer is that if they have the same specs and materials, they may well be the same and the answer is "neither".
Comp is on my **** list with the beehive debacle. They may be getting lots of their springs Hecho in Mexico now and that worries me. That issue aside, I'd concentrate on getting a spring with the right specs* more than the name on the box. "Too much" spring is always better than too little, BTW. Rich |
Patroit being the same company that does heads? :confused:
|
I think I have it figured out, lets hope so, I would like to get my car back by the end of the month, lol. but who knows......

Rich PAC hasn't made Comps in over a year. PAC = old reliable beehive. |

They are custom manufactured for them. There are only a handful of companies that actually make their own springs. PAC, Associated Spring, PSI, NHK, Mathew Warren.
