Default .550 lift valve springs

Does any have or know the cheapest place to get some? Also my cams are crane "pi re-grinds" w/ a .550 lift. I got them with heads on ebay so I do not know much about them. The springs are stock and I would like to buy the correct ones for them. Thanks.

I got Comp valve springs from summit, there usually pretty cheap. And if you find a cheaper sprice they match it. Also if your not going to take your heads off when you are going to replace them. You are going to need this tool. http://www.shop.com/op/aprod-p404775...er?sourceid=13
Its used to compress the spring. Also your going to need an adapter for an air hose to screw into your park plug whole to compress it and keep the valve closed when your chaging the spring. The valve spring change is the most pain in the *** part of a cam swap. You are going to have to unbolt your motor on one side and jack it up to allow you to use the tool to compress the springs near the firewall.
