    doesn't look right, but try a cap on a spring, if it doesn't look/feel right it'll be wrong

    Re: Valve springs

    They certainly are not right. Visually there's hardly any difference at all between the Piper springs and the standard ones.

    keep the sets they have sent and ask again for a replacement set.

    find out what car the valve springs you have will fit and sell them on, if you can do this you havent paid for anything if you cant then tell piper to sort there act out

    ive ordered direct from piper a few time with no probs in the past.
