Scoggin Dickey Crate Motor Springs

About 5 months ago i put a scoggin dickey sd360tpi crate motor in my 87 IROC. Everything for the install went reasonably well. Anyway now Ive got 5000 miles on the car and I have a broken valve spring. I read a bunch of posts in the past about the spring problem on this motor and called SD and they said that they had resolved the problem and it was no longer an issue. Obviously it still is. Anyway Ive decided to just replace all the valve springs. What would be a good choice for springs that will hold up. Its got vortec heads with 1.6 rockers.

They didn't send you a new set of "no problem" springs?

They sent me to a dealer and they took care of it. Everything is perfect now. They really do have pretty good customer service.
