Heya everyone! Just wanted to know what brand aftermarket valve springs everyone likes to use with their rb30's. At the moment, the only real spring ive got access to is a crow dual spring (the recommend a 5833-12), but id like to offer more to people, so if you let me know a part number and the brand of the springs you use and what kind of cam its used for, i can see what i can get for everyone and be able to work out a great price! thanks
