I recently did a rebuild of my G&G GR16 A3 full stock and when I did so I added a PDI 150% spring. It shoots around 423FPS with .2gram and 383FPS with a .25G. I know some people were talking of ordering from local shops, which for some stuff I agree is alright, but if you are ordering light and small items, order from China or Japan. I ordered spring, shims and 3 hop up buckings from Ehobbyasia.com and the shipping was 8.00USD and I never got hit with customs. Other advantage springs cost only 5-9.00USD same with other items, so you can avoid the Canadian markup.

I am going to order in the near future a PDI 140% spring to try to lower the FPS to 400 with a .2gram. Also one further note the Version 2 gear box was well built, properly shimmed and has bearings, ball bearing spring guide, ball bearing piston head, metal gears and box so if you are going to upgrade the G&G don't bother with anything but the spring and decent lubricant, granted though hop-up enhancements are a good idea, I installed 70 degree hard Guarder hop-up bucking since the velocity is getting kind of high.
