I broke 2 rocker arms,now im rebuilding the cylinder head.
I have a set of HKS valve springs, the question is if these springs will be an advantage over the stock one using the stock cams?

Thanks!

If you have them, I would go ahead and put them in just in case you decide to go with cams down the road you'll have them in there already. They won't help or hurt you in there with stock cams though. If anything, it only slightly hurts you by creating a bit more drive train drag.

I got the HKS step 2 cams as well. but i prefer to use the stock ones for better response and better low range power

it will close your valves faster...plus like said above makes it easier down the road...I did valves on the bench and don't like the ways offered to do it while on the engine personally...
