    Replacement screw lengths and spring constants

    I've got a Shengshou 7x7x7. I wondered what would happen if I changed the springs. The SpeedCubeShop sells spring kits for Dayan and Alpha (Type A), for only $1.25 each so naturally I ordered a set to see what would happen. So I've got three different sets of screws to mess around with and...
