That equation doesn't apply to S2 springs.

I have a case now with an engine that dropped a valve and we were using the first gen S2 springs w/S2 cams stage 2, can you send me more information about other cases I need to make a complaint to Skunk2 because we're pretty sure everything was properly installed.

The first gen Skunk springs would be about 9 years old and Eibach I think.

no they didn't break, i have been hearing negative things though about them and i didn't want to put them into a built motor and rev it 9700 then drop a valve. just wanting some feedback from other people.

There's a few threads about them breaking on here. I don't have that much time to look them up.

I switched mine out for the Rocket Gen2 springs just to be safe.

I would stay away from Skunks older non-Eibach springs. There new stuff is good though if my guess is correct.
