Default valve springs

Ok so im out of money, and im so pissed cuz i was going to buy nice heads, now i cant really afford them (stupid *** eclipse) anyway having my heads redone, and since it has 115k on them, would it be a good idea to do valve springs? if so is there an advantage to a certain kind? or am i ok with stock replacments? obviously if i was going to put cams in latter there are ones for 6500plus i think, but i doubt ill be going much over 6k. any ideas?

i guess the question is now is it really worth doing those right now, it could be months or a year or more before cams....you think it would help at all just having new springs? or just stick with the old ones for now?

If you are rebuilding your heads you should do new springs and new retainers as well.
