haha, trust me, the spring is definitely stiffer. I could feel it by just compressing the springs with my fingers. It wasn't as big of a difference like with their soft spring & the old stiff spring but you can still feel it. I had my MBC set to 26-27psi with their old stiff spring, I put the new stiff spring in and turned the boost down close to 3 full turns and figured that would be enough, wrong. I let off when I saw 33-34psi haha. I had to crank the knob almost all the way out to get back down to my 27psi. I am using the ceramic ball with the new stiff spring and it seems to taper maybe 2psi.

gotcha, didn't you mention in another thread that if you have the hallmann they would send you the spring no charge?
