Default b18c brands of valve trains componets

I am building my ls/vtec turbo actually stroked to 2.0 liters . And In the following month I gonna start buying the valve train for it . And I just wonder wich brand you think is better and why ? I found this springs on ebay but never heard of them before JG and by the specifications they sound good .Here is the link
eBay Motors: JG DUAL VALVE SPRINGS HONDA / ACURA DOHC VTEC (item 250026473522 end time Oct-04-06 00:00:00 PDT)
as far of valves I am thinking in going with ferrea valves and retainers . valves over size 1 mm on both sides. any comments suggestions and/or experience welcome .......Thanks.........Omar

id stay away from stroking it if i were you. if youre sleeving the motor, boring it to 84mm will also yield a 2.0.

Stay away from JGE

Never had problems with Ferrea, Supertech and Skunk2. I run Supertech dual valve springs, titanium retainers and seats but am making the switch to Ferrea full valve train within the next week or two

Ferrea, Supertech, Skunk2, omnipower, portflow, and even eibach... all good brands.... I personally run ferrea EVERYTHING in my head, and it handles bunches of rpms and begs for more

The KMS stuff is made by Supertech so it is good. Supertech is going in my personal head, I've also had good luck with omnipower on a couple of motors as well as ferrea. Skunk 2's new pro stuff is good but I've had some bad experiences with their springs and valves several years ago. I had valves mushroom out at the tips and needed to be cut out along with the springs and on a different motor one of the valve springs actually broke.
