January 29, 200620 yr #1 After reading the post by SUTTY has anyone else had a problem with the GT valvesprings going off?
January 29, 200620 yr #2 Don't confuse the GT or GT-P valve springs with the XR8 valve springs. They are different.

I haven't had one Ford tech tell me they won't work.

January 29, 200620 yr #7 I have the GT springs fitted in mine, no binding or grinding or any problems at all.
January 29, 200620 yr #8 After reading the post by SUTTY has anyone else had a problem with the GT valvesprings going off?why you ask shifty?
January 29, 200620 yr #9 I also heard the BOSS290 valve springs 'weren't suitable' for the T. If HUSTLER's got them installed, I guess I heard wrong. However, The XR8 ones are slightly cheaper and are sufficient, so why pay the extra I guess?
January 29, 200620 yr #10 I got mine through aps and that's what they gave me!!!!! Still in the genuine ford packets!!
