Would you trust xs-power valve springs?
 
Well...unfortunately I know their reputation, but I was offered a brand new set of xs-power valvesprings for a next to nothing price. I'm very hesitant on buying anything from xs/ssac, especially if their going into my b16 head. Has anyone ever used these, or are they complete junk like the rest of the ssac crap and not even worth my time?

I say no.
I also have no experience with anything but oem valvetrain.

If they couldn't even get my wastegate spring right, I sure as hell wouldn't trust them with valve springs.

Even if they did get it right, no.

Would you buy a condom from a company that sells baby bottles ::)

That's what I figured. Especially when the price of high quality springs is way higher than what he bought them for. :P

a broken turbo won't eat your motor, a f'd up wastegate could, a broken BOV won't..... but JUNK SPRINGS/RETAINERS/VALVES/CAMSHAFTS WILL eat your motor horribly.
