BC valve spring on Toda 264's cam? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

will the BC valve spring get a job done on Toda 264's 10.5 lift?
if so, is it okay to get only valve spring w/o the titanium retainers?
i'm worry about the spring rate of the BC if it will be too stiff or too soft for Toda cam.
please point me or tell me what brand would you recoment other than BC?
i know it is a good idea to get Toda valve springs but kiand pricey for me...

They will do the job, the BC cams are 12mm lift. I would recommend the retainers though as these are stiffer springs. Sounds like you may need to save a little more money for your project. Dont skimp on this stuff.

It seems you definitely need to do some more research before buying anything more mjjstang is right wait and get what will work. Its hard to pin point what parts are the BEST out there as well you may get several opinions. On a side note...(take an extra 3 seconds for spellcheck) makes it much easier to read.

you can get the valve spring/retainer combo for dirt cheap through frsport.com i'd advise it...hell i'd even go with bc valves. cant put a price on peace of mind and reliability.
