The Skunk2 Alpha Valve Spring Set for Honda D15 and D16 SOHC VTEC engines is engineered to deliver unmatched valvetrain stability, allowing your engine to rev safely beyond 10,000 RPM. Designed, developed, and tested entirely in-house, Skunk2’s Alpha Valve Springs are the result of years of high-performance engine building and motorsport experience.
Constructed from super-clean chrome-silicone wire sourced from Japan, these valve springs are precision wound, heat-treated, and shot-peened for maximum durability. Each spring is carefully tested on both the dyno and track to ensure reliable performance under extreme conditions—from high-RPM drag racing engines to endurance builds.
Ideal for naturally aspirated or forced-induction setups, these springs eliminate valve float and maintain consistent valve control across the entire RPM range, making them an essential upgrade for any serious SOHC VTEC build.
