I got my ls6 springs from gmpartsdirect.com to use in my truck. Went with Comp Cam that I got from a local shop, and Chromoly push rods from Summit Racing. So far I have been happy with my choice. Order the springs from mentioned site, it will save you money.

Are the LS6 springs any quieter than the Comps? Just wondering if I would lose some of my false KR by switching out my 915's for them.
