ok thanks! and do the washers really do much?
the spring is going to grind the cube without the washers.
You'll need the washers that are below the spring, but you can get rid of the ones on top is there are any.
I think maybe a little bit but not as much as in ShengShou 6x6.
I watched Florian's video about World Record Mod and he tried this and there's no big difference.
I'm curious, in what way do the springs in a cube make it faster?
If they are tight/not easily compressible, they increase friction when the sides turn. If they are loose/easily squishable springs, they don't cause as much friction, so the cube becomes easier to turn
No. If you have hard/long springs that cause friction and you loose it too much, you will get lots of popping. When you have shorter/softer springs you can keep the screw tighter but you still have loose spring and the cube turns fine.but isn't that the same as just loosening or tightening a cube?
Next mod these pieces
Dayan springs work the best, they are a bit slower then C4Y but they make the cube lock up less. And no you must completely disassemble the cube.I'm sure someone has asked this already, but would Dayan springs be good too?
I don't use my zhanchi anymore, so I could swap the springs. Also, is there a way to change out the springs without completely disassembling?

i didnt disassemble the whole cube, You can just disassemble parts of it, change the springs, reassemble and then repeat for all the sides.
Too late.
How much do I tighten it? Until I can hear the springs squeaking, all the way, until the screw is flush with the plastic circle part, or somewhere else?
For these pieces, do you guys think it is a good idea to round off where they touch the center corners? Also, what about rounding of the inner edges where they meet the outer edges? It seems like a good mod to me, but I do not want to create pops.
Next mod these pieces
