Looking to upgrade Valve spring.
I'm currently building over an engine and my mechanic suggested I change the cams and spring as well. Its a stroked block and I settled on some GCS S2 as just about everyone recommends them and from the product description, they seem to fit my build exactly.
Since I won't be revving pass 8K, what spring are recommend?
The BrianCrower BC0100 kit looks to be good value as it come with "TITANIUM RETAINER" but BC stuff has been getting mixed review in this form.

I'm upgrading my valve springs with gsc beehives part# 5039, with gsc s2 cams. I've talk to a bunch of rep shops and that's what they recommended with being able to rev around 8-9k rpm. But if you want to go all out, I would recommend kiggly valve springs and retainers kit (which is on my list when I go fully built). Go to kigglyracing.com...... hope that helps.

If money was no object, I prob would get the Kiggly's, again because of the reputation that they have gained here in this form (I value real world user feed back). The GCS beehive were an option but didn't come with retainers for the same price range. HKS is great stuff. Thanks for the heads up! Just looked at their offering and notice something that didn't quite read right.

Keep the opinions and suggestions coming! If anything I'll hold of a for a few months to upgrade springs and CAMS; maybe even valves and seats too, depending on how this thread progresses.
FYI its an E7 JDM I'm building.
