who makes the best spring and whats the difference between none linear and linear springs?

Prometheus and Systema are pretty well documented as quality spings, stick with them and you wont be disapointed.

linear springs have a set pitch (distance between two coils), non-linear springs look all crazy with variable pitch and they have to be installed with the tightly coiled end at the spring guide.
Honestly I like non-linear better because I've found them easier to install lol
as for companies, Guarder, Systema, Prometheus.

Isn't prometheous always recommended in whatever products they make?

ThunderCactus · October 6th, 2007, 00:59

prometheus doesnt make guns or gearboxes so that kind of limits the # of products you can put their springs in

they work in any standard AEG

Systema, Guarder and PDI. I recommend not going over the Systema 120, PDI 170 or the Guarder SP120 unless you want to do major upgrading. Otherwise just put in some new metal bushings and possibly some reinforced gears. I think non-linear springs are good but a you have to put a certain end into the piston unless I'm wrong?

More compressed end on the spring guide.

Avoid the PDI springs, they are literally shit the past few years.

I have had zero issues with Prometheus springs, they always deliver very well and don't bog down mechboxes or batteries anywhere near what PDI does for the same velocity output.

Oh? I always thought PDI and Prometheus springs were the same. Guess not.

from what i've seen PDI springs are sometimes packaged incorrectly, the PDI 120 i was supposed to have in my G3 was closer to a PDI 130, and that's a pretty big difference.

I don't think you could possibly be more wrong with that thought...
