How to stop a DIY type A from popping

Most people know that the type a old one pops likes crazy and if you tightens it so it doesn't pop it too stiff to turn. A simple mod that I did was to take out all the springs on all sides then tighten it almost all the way. It can turn as far as a U2 with one flick easily.
Note there are some problems with this mod. You can overshoot very easily so you need to adjusted do that you don't overshoot to much with can cause some lockups so you need to improve your turning accuracy.
It is almost guarantee to stop popping and still turn easily.

I believe the springs from the Old Type A cubes cause this. Since they are big and really "springy" (lol no other word), it cuts corners well, but pops a lot.

Taking out the springs will not allow any corner cutting.
The screws in Type A cubes (the old ones) are pretty long (lol thats NOT what she said), so how could you tighten all of the sides to the max?

I said almost all the way. Stop adjusting when it starting getting stiff. It can still cut corners a little bit but not like it could before. If only we can get spring that will only just fit. I've tried the C4U springs (silver ones) but it still pops lots. This mod can be done on any diys
