Why would ford fit them if they're no good? I dont understand I thought there was a stack of ppl using them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best valve springs available imo. I think the coil bind with the GT or XR8 springs is a fallacy, and Ford wouldn't supply, install and offer warranty on the parts/worksmanship if it didn't work.You sure the cylinder head was setup properly?

Ford are fitting the GT springs to the XR6T head as part of a valve spring upgrade at customers request.My point is, Ford are doing it and covering parts and labour under warranty. Therefore, I don't care about coil bind or any related issue to valve springs. It's their part, and their issue if something happens.I'd highly recommend people who are in the market for upgraded valve springs to see your local Ford dealer.
