Does the Kms valvetrain package work with a crower stage 2 turbo cam?

As the title says I am looking at the KMS valtrain package and was wondering if it will work with the crower stage 2 turbo cams. I was asking since this includes A set of new Dual Racing Springs, Titanium Retainers ,Stainless Steel Racing Valves, Valve Guide seals, and a blockguard all for only $599. http://www.honda-performance.com/valve-train.asp

I was thinking this might be the way to go since the crower sping and retainer kit is almost 300 and I was thinking of replacing my valves with stronger ones but those go for about 300 on ebay and this gives me a blockgaurd aswell.

a dual spring set up is over kill IMO. It will "work" BUt of course crower suggests using thier spring set with thier cam. You can shop around and pick up the crower springs for 250 ish. ..same as d16

I bought KMS valves,springs and retainers. Buy them from crower, the coating on my kms valves burnt off after 3K miles or so. The valve spring were ok but crower stuff is far superior. If I had it to do all over Id get the crower stuff for the same money. Dont let KMS charge you $80 for a headgasket either, it is the exact same thing as the $22 nippon leakless. Just buy the blockguard on ebay for 60 bucks. They have them on there all the time. KMS held $1100 of my money for 2 months for parts I never recieved, I had to threaten them with legal action before they refunded the money. Be carefull with them. Crower on the other hand has awesome personal service and will exceed your expectations by far, and you dont even get lied to over and over! hehe
