Title: Where to acquire some gold springs?
Post by: Numpy on Fri, 25 December 2015, 23:46:13: Hiya,
I'm looking for some gold springs for my next build and am having trouble finding some.
ZealPC had some but are out of stock for the weights I'm looking for.
If anyone knows where I could get my hands on some 62-67g (bottoming out weight) gold springs or are willing to sell some please let me know :D

Thankyee all,
Numpy

Awesome, I'll check it out.

Edit: Thanks o3okevin, looks like you've found what I've been looking for. I'll probably go for the 62's

Edit x2: Damn, their international shipping is expensive though. $30.10! :eek:

Some people have been told yes and others have been told that they will contact the manufacturer and ask. However some people have tested them and generally speaking they seem to be but overall it's inconclusive due to the testing more than anything. I'm sure they'll do just fine though.

Thanks, I'll probably go for the 62g ones to be safe.

Contact them before you finalize your order they can probably adjust the shipping as it may default to a higher rate for international orders.

Depends on who you talk to. Some claim barely perceptible difference in feel. Some claim they hold up better. Some, like me, think that they're only really good for the "bling" factor.
