i need to know which ones will be better the low lift or high lift springs. I will be getting there titanium retainers. I just want springs and retainers to be able to handle reving to 9500rpm with no worries. they say there good to 11000rpms. thanks please lmk

ABK

low lift since gsr cams are not really high lift. Are you sure you are going to need to rev to 9500rpm

Civic89stdB16

im not sure im going to need to but if i do i want them to hold up tho that rpm.

ABK

be carefull, don't want to drop a valve. It will eat your motor.

Civic89stdB16

thats why i want to use the right springs/retainers to be able to go to 9500 because ive seen to many stock valvetrains break.

Civic89stdB16

also may upgrade to ctr cams or blox b's down the road

ABK

you should worry more about retainers cracking.

Civic89stdB16

so should the spring and retainers work. if not what would u prefur. thanks

ABK

yea get springs and titanium retainers (you can run stock but I've seen one crack, and drop a valve. possibly due to a bent valve. very long story). You have to keep an eye on titanium retainers because they wear out with milage and will need replacment.

what other retainers could i get

ABK

that's pretty much it. they got aluminum retainers but somebody just cracked those too.

ok so get the low lifts with titanium retainers. but just replace the retainers every season. correct. Every like 5000 mile or so.
