Rebuilding stock heads

I have a set of 993 heads with 1.94" 1.50" valves i want to lap them and install new valve seals and springs. What should i replace them with? www.enginekits.com has 550 lift springs for $40. What about valve seals?!?

Thanks

buy springs to match your cam, trash the factory rotators and buy aftermarket retainers. i use o ring seal and postive seals, i'd not use umbrella seals
