Default Searching for valves for b18c1

I need two intake valves for a b18c1. Here's what I've found so far. Which one would you go with? Does anyone have any other good sources? I question the quality of the ebay valve, and also question if the intake valve will fit from the other site because it has pr3 in the code.

From searching i found that gsr heads are different because of shape and have higher compression, and that itr/b16 heads are casted the same. But what about the valves? The itr's are supposedly stronger n lighter, but logic tells me there all basically the same.

I bent the valves when I was degreeing my cams Im hoping that buying either of these will be a drop n go type of situation and that lapping the new valves will go this way.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? I also found somebody that is locally parting out a b16a head, but he wants 20$ a valve. Quick responses appreciated.

I would go with Ferrea Valves all day long...
Call Real Street Performance.. you can check them out online, they have a huge online store with everything you could need. I purchased all my head and block stuff from them..

You can also talk with them and they can help you choose the right parts for whatever type of build you are doing.

I am just doing a stock rebuild and am close to completion. Just looking for the cheap, but proper way out.

People would argue that since two are bent maybe i should invest in supertech valves or ferrea like you suggested, but I don't see that necessary for the goals i am trying to accomplish.

why not just get them from the dealer? they're $28 list each. but they're the same between b16 and gsr.

was just about to say dealer since you just need 2 vs all 16 all the vtec b-series valves are interchangeable.
