Default Cams, cam gears and valvtrain questions

Hey everyone I have a few questions and I need some opinions. I am going to be buying cams, cam gears and valvesprings and retainers for my b16a2. I was thinking about going with the ctr intake cam and the itr exhaust cam. For the cam gears I am looking into jun, toda, and skunk2. Springs and retainers I am looking at jun. My ride is a daily driver so I need to keep it that way. Are there any concerns or conflicts I might have if I use a combo of the components and brands listed? Any info will help. Thanks

There shouldn't be any problems with this setup, but why are you going to buy the springs and retainers when you don't need them. The ITR/CTR cams can be used with your stock springs and retainers. The only reason I can see for using them, is if you were going to raise your rev limit to 9000 or more. But since you said this would be your daily driver I don't see that happening. instead of the springs and retainers, I would just buy the Apexi VAFC and get some dyno tuning done to max out the power.
well, that just my opinion anyways

Thanks for the reply. I already have the VAFC and plan on installing that at the same time. My reasoning for wanting the springs and retainers is because in the event that I up the cams to something more aggressive than the ctr/itr, I will already have the valvetrain stuff out of the way.
