Would like to know which brands are all selling the same springsOk , Allen w ebay,Plazmaman,Performance springs,Rapid springs and most likely but only a guess is intune springs.As far as I know Atomic source his own and crow springs do their own.Gaz is the only one to have a failure that I know of in those springs but others have had failures with most other brands as well .Havent heard of Nizpro springs failing, but just going soft and loosing seat pressure mind you that was a while ago and not heard anything for a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many potential duds out there, which valve springs have the best reliability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 7m 10d Posted 02/12/15 10:11 PM Share Posted 02/12/15 10:11 PM A few people contacted me with broken plaz springs when it happened so I was not the only one. The problem is with batch manufacturing and selling such large quantities is that even with a 99.99% life something has to fail eventually. Look up bearing design and chance of failure. When talking to Brad from atomic he admitted that he had failures due to some circumstances but worked very hard to resolve all issues. I went with atomic second time round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this trade and many others it doesnt matter how expensive the product is there will always be a percentageof failure. Unfortunately for Gaz it was those springs but as I said other brands have had them too (luck of the draw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
