They are different. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22982-gt-valve-springs/#findComment-341413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had one Ford tech tell me they won't work. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22982-gt-valve-springs/#findComment-341507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

saleen Big Gun Donating Members 4,170 Member For: 22y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 29/01/06 07:52 AM Share Posted 29/01/06 07:52 AM 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?
