Patriot Springs?
Patriot Springs?
Ive been looking into the cc503 cam and was wondering how these springs hold up. It's a DD that sees occasional drag racing, so im looking for springs that will last....I cant find much info on the Patriot springs. Also to add, I have SA 1.6RR's so i need springs that will work with those
Also I'd like opinions on the crane 10308 springs. They're becoming hard to find but I've read a lot of positive things about them

And to answer Brian's question.....It is my Daily Driver but it makes it to the track 7 or 8 times a year, just to have fun...As far as suspension, it's all stock as of now. We just installed Lower Control Arms and a Torque Arm on a friends 00' TA with sub-frame connector soon to be added and I like that setup
You didn't find this helpful?
Good luck.... you're going to need it.
The BEST set up will be the Patriot Gold Extreme springs. They are springs, retainers, locks, locators and seals all in one kit. They are $275 plus $10 shipping thru Patriot.

The Patriot springs don't last long at all, they are pretty cheap material which is easily apparent when you consider that quality springs from Isky, Comp, or PAC are going to cost $400 for just the springs, yet you can get the Patriot springs WITH Ti retainers for only $250 
My personal experience with them has shown that they fatigue quickly, a major drop in pressure right off the bat along with spring sagging.
