Any advice on springs to compliment SLP 1.8 roller rockers?

[Guardiannknight]

I was one of the GP on the rockers. I'm just going to leave my stock springs in there. Although I only have 51,800 miles compared to your 81,000. Plus I very rarely go to the drag strip and maybe once every 3 times I take it out do I ever really get on it. So, I say my springs should be in A OK shape. Can't wait on the rockers though.

So, and LS1 (and LS 6) style spring will work?

Do we know this for definate?

I REALLY appreciate all the help guys!

Yes the LS1 & LS6 springs work. I have stock LS1 springs in my engine right now.

Ok, so LS6 springs sound promising.
Retainers.... titanium any good??

[Ironman24]

Titanium are the best, they are lighter, about 40% over stock. Chromemolly is another option too if you don't want to shell out the bucks for titanium.

so will our stock L36 retainers work with stock LS1/LS6 springs?

James...I Have a set of heads over at Joe's place...we put LS1, LS6 and Z06 springs on and there is not only a height difference but also a seat difference.....Based on our measurements they are not going on my heads.....Good luck

Let me clarify.....The LS1 and LS6 Springs are taller. Could present coil binding as a problem. The spring seats are the same. My mind was on valves when I wrote the first post. It can be done...Would I do it with James setup....No.
