Re: Stock Valve springs or?

Can't tell much just by looking at them- there are too many differences that can't be seen by eye. I use a spring tester when it doubt. Take them to a local machine shop and have them do a quick check for you. At 1.70" a stock spring will be about 70 lbs. A typical performance oriented spring of the same diameter will be more like ~100 lbs.
