Nice improvement over stiff springs.
My Floyd Rose Special on LTD 1000 was really stiff. Going from 3 springs to 2 springs didn't help. Ended up using 4 of the Vintage springs, really improved the overall feel and tone along with improved sustain. Tuning stability was good. Could have used less springs for improved flutter but not my thing. I also found them to be very quiet. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Will make your Strat sound like is supposed to
I read all the reviews and hype and figured I would take a chance on it since they were only $30.00. I can say is that it improved American Strat with SD pickups 100 percent. Always liked the sound before the new springs but thought something was missing and was just those little springs. Now my Strat sounds bigger fatter and brighter. Positions 2 and 4 are now big and full not thin like before. All I can says that I liked them so much that I just ordered 2 more sets for my other Stratocasters Has to be the best $30.00 that I have ever spent on a guitar upgrade

Trem spring upgrade.
For Me they increased tension for better trem function and increased sustain and sparkle. This is probably the least expensive mod for the strat that makes a positive difference in tone. Installed on 1995 custom shop classic with noticeable tonal improvement. Just installed set two on My 1985 MIJ stat.

Pricey but works as advertised.
Kinda pricey but I needed to reduce the tension on my Gotoh 510 tremolo while still using 3 springs. These springs did what I needed but were not cheap.

Made in Japan
These are made in Japan which was a nice surprise. I put these on a firefly strat and have been impressed with the increase in tone as well sustain.

That Broken In Tremolo Feel
It sucks watching the price continually climb on these, but I get them for all my guitars with tremolos. I remove the standard five stiffer springs and replace them with three of these loose, "broken in" springs for a tremolo with a lot more play, also making it easier to bend strings. I love 'em and will likely continue to use them, at least until they become more cost prohibitive.

For the active trem user, a must.
You would think that with all the reviews here saying "I was skeptical but, pleasantly surprised" that I wouldn't have gone in with such skepticism... well, I did. I mean, they're springs for crying out loud! I have a custom warmoth strat with a wilkinson trem that floats within a semi-recessed cavity using a tremol-no system for when I want to block it out. In this particular guitar I had to reduce the amount of string to 2 in order to "pull-up" to the desired intervals (a minor 3rd on the G). This caused a distinct "warble" to the sound, especially when the tremol-no was not engaged. It was also getting to the point where I believe, due to fatigue on the springs, the tremolo was having trouble returning to a 0 point and I'd often find that letting go of the trem would land me either sharp or flat depending on the direction of pull/push. I loaded these in and holy sustain batman! There was so much more substance to the guitar's tone and tuning stability was regained. I went from 2 to 4 springs and it's night and day. I probably could've gotten away with 5 but the tremol-no device takes up a single spring space. I guess I hadn't realized how "hardened" springs had become in modern guitars, and for my money, you really want to have as much connection to the wood as you possibly can. I also recommend, if you're an avid trem user like I am (or even if you're not) to invest in some Big Bends Lil Luber Ultra Nut Sauce Applicator this will GREATLY increase your tuning stability as it reduces the amount of differential tension on either side of the nut. Ya know that high pitched little sounds you sometimes hear from your headstock? Yeah that's your guitar snapping out of tune.
