I've got a brand new in the box set of Crower Springs and Ti Retainers. I've decided to go to a dual spring set-up so I no longer need these. Taking offers right now. I want to move these fast.

Who told you that you need dual springs? Crowers should be fine for anything short of a 10k revlimiter.

Good question Dan, I honestly don't know. I would imagine the people on the EVO boards could help you more, or maybe even call Crower direct.

I am switching to a dual springs because I plan on running some fp3x's or the fp2x's and I have talked to an FP rep and they highly recommended a dual spring over the crower because of the increased lift of the cams.
I am not sure if these will fit the late model 4g63 heads as stated earlier I would check on an Evo Board or get in contact with Crower. |

Yup for the FP2 and FP3 you want double valve springs.

Are the FP cams that radical in terms of lift? I wonder why FP reccomends the dual springs and not any other camshaft manufacturers?

Its not lift or revs that necessitates the dual springs, its the ramp profile. The FP3 and 4 cams open and close the valves VERY quickly so that they can hold them at maximum lift for as long as possible. That's why the cam lobes look so squared off on them.

Now that we've established that I need the dual springs for the cams i'm going to be running who wants these? They are brand new in the box.

crower only has one set of part number for their valve springs and retainers so my first guess is that they would work for evo's. I'd paypal the money right now for 200....
