If there free why not, if you were to spend money I'd get CTR's.

I think you only need to upgrade the springs and retainers when using type r.

But if I got a free set of GSR cams I'd put them in for sure.

I threw a set of GSR cams in my b16a, but I also moved the VTEC engagement point to match that of the GSR ecu.

The GSR cams have slightly longer intake durations than the B16 cams IIRC. So you will make some gains... but honestly I don't think it's enough to be worth the labor.
