I can put together a package deal of 995 springs and retainers, not sure of cost but a set of springs should be around $130 plus $20 for retainers plus shipping. These are a simple swap, no shimming or keeper changes needed.

Just post up here.

Retainers are off a Chev V6.

hehe oooohhh had to try n ask :D

FYI thats not 2 bad of a price, only way your gettin them cheaper is if you already have someone commited into going 1/2ers on a set with ya!!! they are $250 CDN a set in town for new springs...was hoping to get them cheaper through my buddies mechanic discount but his price couldnt even beat the speed shops :(

are the stock chev retainers made of chromoly????

yeah they be chromoly....

if they are the ones im thinking, you can also get titanium ones (I think the lt-4 corvette used them)


I may be mistaken about the chromoly... i vaguely remember having an option between iron, chromoly and titanium....

I think titanium is overkill, they are already lighter than stock ones.

ah i was looking at the 995 springs, you are selling the 26995 springs:thumb:
i was looking at the 16918 springs the have slightly more open pressure and slightly less seat pressure, which would be better? and what degree are our locks? i always thought ours were 7

I think both would be fine, matter of choice I guess. Also look at the max lift each one can take, that will be another factor.

Our angle is 8 deg.

I'll figure it out today, I would guess under $10, I can put them in a bubble pack.

Hi,

i'd need a full set for one or maybe two 8v heads please :)
they'd be going to be shipped to Mike's (90Dodgevnt) place, dunno where he's at actually lol. he's gonna pack up some things for me. i'll let you know where to ship this (and whether one or two sets ;))
what costs am i looking at?

(in case of two sets, i'll prolly get the full 16 springs from summit or somewhere and only retainers from you ;))

Well no one wants any but you, and I don't need any for my TIII, lol.

I will check with my friend locally, he hinted about it but might have gone a different route.
