Question Valve Spring Question

I currently have Edelbrock heads that have an installed spring height of 1.800"

The springs I need for my cam are different than the ones on my heads, and I have the opportunity to get some for it. They are Crane springs, with the proper seat pressure for my cam, measured at 1.680". Does that mean I need to shim these springs to 1.800" ???

I've been trying to get some answers, and all I've heard was, use two .060" shims and I'd be ok. I dunno, I'm confused at to what I should do. Buy the Trick Flow Track Heat upgrade kit, with 1.780" springs, and use their shims, or just get shims for the kit I can buy cheaper.

Any suggestions?
