Posted 05/07/04 11:57 PM Share Posted 05/07/04 11:57 PM Have been researching this over the past week & can tell you that the only replacement springs available at the moment are the XR8/BA GT or Comp Cams in the states I think make a comparable spring, not cheap though, US$320 for 24 springs excl. postage as compared with the BA GT springs $6.16+GST ea.. Not sure if the XR8/GT springs are the same spec. as the Comp Cams springs though?I did ring Crow Cams & they are getting springs made, but told me they will be another 2-3 months away, they also confirmed that XR8/GT springs are the only local option at the moment!

The XR8 springs can be fitted whilst the heads remain on the car & trade for around $8.20 a pop. 56 odd pound on the seat, 160 odd on the nose with 100 thou clearance before coil bindScotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11684-ba-gt-valve-springs/#findComment-140936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuspub Greg Brindley Member 97 Member For: 21y 8m 5d Location: Melbourne Posted 06/07/04 02:11 AM Share Posted 06/07/04 02:11 AM Nizpro has its own springs (designed to cater for both stock and high lift camshafts) with a retail price of $260 inclusive of GST.They're manufactured with less coils (for high lift applications) and via thicker material have a higher rate. They fit directly without any modification what so ever.ktford is right in that they can be fitted while the head is still in place, however it is a laborious job (irrespective of what spring you use) and should only be carried out using the factory Ford tool. But even with this tool you are still looking at between 5 - 6 hours to fit the springs.Greg Brindley.
