    Hey kids,

    I'm going for some bigger cams over the next few weeks, I want to do my valve springs while I'm at it with something newer (and a little stronger).

    I am aware of HKS/TODA valvesprings, and a few other brands, I would like to know who knows of workshop/s sites that sell for a good price or an alternatives

    Thanks,
    Seamus

    I think toda ones are only about $200 for a set, which is pretty good.

    mate of mine just ordered some and that's what he said he paid.

    Just to highjack the thread and ask a stupid question I've always wondered when you should/need to change your valve springs. It seems like one of those mods that never really gets any attention.

    Just popped the thread into technical questions for you, should be able to get a few more responses in here.

    I heard of some people running a double spring set-up? I don't know if this would be particularly cheaper, or just a necessity for motors that don't have much aftermarket support? Either way it may be worth looking into, but since there are so many cheap aftermarket options it would probably just be easier to stay with the proven names.

    valve springs that are too stiff can damage ur camshafts, so to prevent damage of ur aftermarket camshaft its always recommended to use uprated valve springs, and to maximise the performance of ur camshaft, uprated valve spring is the way to go
