VKB Gladiator springs

The VKB webstore wants $7 for the sping kit and $26 for S&H 
Anybody know an alternate source or a work-around? My stick is set for medium tension; I'm looking for less.

You should have 3 sets of springs. You should still have another step of less. You also have damper screws.

If you don't find yours at the bottom of the box or whatever, I've got a baggy of 10lb springs I can send you for nada. I believe the default springs are 20lb

Just an fyi. I wanted some springs for my Virpil stick that were softer than anything that Virpil offered so I took the lightest spring from Virpil down to the hardware store and found springs of a similar design that were lighter than what I had. They work great and cost me a couple of bucks, and I had them the same day.

Xanax stepped up to the plate but thanks for the suggestion!

If you're assuming you've got medium tension because you've never changed them, you might very well have light ones.  They come in 10lb, 20, and 30 sets.  I assumed the 20s were the default, so that's what I put in, but it was quite heavy compared to what mine was from factory.  I can't imagine what a 30 would feel like, almost require an extension I bet.

So if that's the case, that I know of they don't go lighter than 10.  For lighter, you might be best off with Sik's suggestion.

The springs xanax kindly provided were marked as 10#. Since swapping the default springs, the tension is substancially less.
