MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 14y 2m 1d Gender: Male Posted 04/11/11 10:20 AM Share Posted 04/11/11 10:20 AM Hey everyone,I apologize immediately if this has been asked before but I couldnt find anything in the search results.I have come accross a cheap set of genuine BA XR8 Valve springs. Apperently they fit the T aswell and have a better seating pressure.Can anyone confirm on this?Im planing 320 RWKW. Do you think these springs will be adequate?Currently on 270RWKW and my poxy BA springs are getting soft. Well atleast im pretty sure its them. and being short on cash at the moment it seems like a no brainer to buy these if they are a better item.Fast replies would be greatly appreciated as the auction ends soon.Thanks guys,Dave Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77657-xr8-valve-springs-any-good-for-the-6t/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to ford today and apparently the ba xt through to xr6T have the same valve springs (weak) whereas the xr8 has stronger ones which are the same spring which was fitted to every other falcon from ba II onwards (including typhoons) up to fg.so if you have a ba I, upgrade to a set of FG fpv springs for around $20 a spring Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77657-xr8-valve-springs-any-good-for-the-6t/#findComment-1163758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
