valve springs

[twilightprotege]

i dont know if anyone has noticed, but last night i was looking through corksport and saw that they are going to be selling eibach valve springs! has anyone checked these out yet?

"manufactured from Hi-Ten super pure Eiballoy?" What the hell is that? I though titanium was the way to go for valve springs? Somebody help me out here.

u know what's cool, at school we have a machine to do "valve stem angled cuts". OOoh, just a thought, Engine Performance Class next semester baby!!!

i have no idea what that is - probably just some eibach made up name for titanium or something ... EIB(ach)alloy

[p5sundevil]

exactly it is eibachs own alloy, basically a titanium with a couple other metals added in probably small to reace amounts to improve function(according to eibach) without losing durability in comparison to pure titanium.

At least this is about what you would find out from their marketing department.
Im interested in the eibach valves though. I have been wanting their sway bar kit to match to my springs but I dont think they make it for the 3rd gens...that and their coil over suspension..mmmmm

YES! Joshie want valve springs. I wanted to do the research on how much more pressure can be gained by putting shims under your valve springs, but a nice Eibach set would be nice. Anyone know how much? Do they make them for the BP too? I would assume so....
