I had a post about this issue too. But from wut i heard is that you can use it but you have to use different cam shaft. but your using skunk2 so i guess that would be a problem. but just incase, you should ask skunk2 about that.

my bad i misread stage 2 for skunk2. reading to fast. lol

As far as the valve springs, I would go with what the cam manufacturer advises.....Some manufacturers design their cams for stock valvetrain (Tokoru) and others recommend an OEM combo consisting of the type-R inner spring and S2000 outer spring (IPS).........
