Title: Cheap ass valvesprings/retainers anyone used these?
Post by: ifly87 on May 26, 2009, 12:02:56 AM
While reading another thread I noticed someone said somthing about "crespo" springs/retainers, so I found their website and they seem to have a really good price on a valvesrping/retainer combo. Just wondering if anybody has ever used theese before or knows someone that has. Any reviews would be good.

90dx has them in his project 10 sec d15. It hasn't run yet, so you will have to give it a couple weeks.

Fuck that is cheap. Im assuming that is inventory clearing pricing like many companies these days.

I've heard some good things about this company.

But thats about average as far as cost goes. My idea of cheap under 100usd. ;D

But yeah check w/ Chris he has his own spring kit for less I think.

Also retainers are for looks, go with someone you trust and has been around for years.
