I guess you like swapping pistons and replacing valves.

I dunno, all I've ever seen in the all-motor and tech forums is "oh noes, my Skunk2 retainer/valve/valvespring broke and now my head/pistons are fux0red!" As opposed to 0 threads on how any other valvetrain companies products have failed. I liked the one thread where this guy had like 8-10 s2 valvesprings all snapped in the exact same spot.

Any benefits running other than OEM CTR valve springs in my stock B16B motor?
I want to put in fresh valve springs and was considering Toda/Jun/Crower.

Any disadvantage in doing so?

Crower b series valvesprings are actually Eibach.

Well actually you have an option (crower or eibach) last time I checked.
