As Dave says, Porsche make a very cunning tool that allows the springs to be changed in situ, and no
it is not a giant sprin compressor that fits under the sump and around the block[

off the road for a day, The cam chain and belts will be changed as well, and then the misfire should be banished

Hi Oli
I haven't bought any valve springs from design 911 but I have bought plenty of other things and can't fault them, OEM items can be from the same factory or at least manufactured to the same standards. Why not ask them directly, I'm sure they will give an honest answer...iirc they did for me when inquiring about turbo exhaust valves, I wasn't sure if their's were up to the job as they were too cheap....they checked for me if they were sodium filled, they weren't which explained the price, probably ok for a standard car but very dangerous for mine, btw I asked the same question for a number of suppliers selling cheaper versions, none were sodium filled so be careful turbo owners. However I would expect their springs to be ok for a standard car in normal use, perhaps not a track day car though but as i said no harm in asking the question.

these look good value especially at the current exchange rate

Ooooooh now that IS a good spot, thanks very much. Definitely worth looking into.
For reference, I just called Design 911. The guy at the end of the phone wasn't much help ; he said they buy them from an aftermarket supplier but didn't know where they have been made or whether they came from the same manufacturer or not. To be honest, it didn't engender much confidence, although there can't be many places knocking the things out so they may well be genuine.
I'll look into the Rosepassion option a little more. Thanks Waylander.
