I have a S13 SR with a GT2871R .64. I plan on running Tomei Procams 260's. I've seen a couple of threads where guys ran BC springs with their Tomei Procams, but there weren't any review threads on how the BC springs held up. What's your take on BC valve springs? Or would you rather shell out the extra $135 to get Tomei valve springs? I'd like to put that $135 into something else if the BC springs can do the job.

I ran that exact setup in my SR. BC springs,oe retainers, greddy RAS, and tomie 260's. 7850rpm rev limit with no issues. Bounced it off the limiter over 100 times coming out of the burnout box at the track

Thanks for that. From what I hear you beat the piss out of your car so that's good to know that set up worked for you. Looking around I found this also. A comparison Enjuku did between BC valve springs and Ferrea Dual valve springs. The BC vavle springs were damn near identical to the Ferrea duals.

I guess I'll be saving $135!

I have BC 264's with BC Valvesprings, 8,000rpm redline and bounce it off that almost daily. No problems yet.
