patriot performance m.i.a. ??
Been trying to reach them for some springs. I ordered via website a week ago, need to replace my Xtreme dual .660's. No answer at the phone all week, and now the website's down. What a bummer, anyone know where I can get a set of equivalent springs?

Get the brian tooley ones. Way lighter retainers and built for stock rocker arms, etc. Lots of other little features also. I know they will sell just the springs also, but you would have to check if they will fit your old retainers/bases.

Thanks again for helping! I got this from Brian Tooley.
"The Extreme springs that I carry are the same springs that Patriot sold as their Xtreme until December 2011. They changed spring vendors and I was able to buy the remaining inventory from the original vendor. So yes, my Extreme springs are identical to what you have and will drop right in. The Platinum springs I sell will also fit. Yes, the VS LS Kit is the correct ones that you'll need.
Please spread the word that I have these for sell since there are so many people with worn Gold and Xtreme springs needing replacement."

The patriot shop has closed its doors. The shop was sold.
The owner of patriot is planning on opening a new shop within the next few weeks.
I have no idea why this went down. I read it on the bullet. I get all my scoop there. It must be true.

It's interesting the way it worked out. I asked for Extremes but was given Platinums. When I asked about the Extremes, he said this.
The Extreme and Platinum springs are actually the same springs using the same wire and therefore have the same pressures. The only difference is the outer springs are coated gold on the Extreme springs. The coating is only for aesthetics and does nothing to benefit the springs.
What's funny is they aren't the same price.
