Hello im going to be getting a UTG with PDI Precision Cylinder Set HD,Laylax Barrel Spacers, and aEDGI 6.01mm Inner Barrel. I was just wondering want kind of spring I should get but have it under 500fps with .20s. I was thinking around a
Laylax PSS2 110SP or a 120SP also if I could up to a 130SP, but i'm just wondering on want your thoughts are on this.

I would get a 150 % should put you in 400 fps range and I would reccomend it only up that high unless you buy a zero trigger or upgrade your sears. Also do a search for sniper I and many people have stated our promblems and benefits from different setups.

Yeah I did, but with these upgrades, I don't want to go over 500fps with .20s, but I did do a little more searching, and i DO know not to go over 150 with out new trigger box, but I think I will be shooting in the 130 area.

I've learned the hard way, that you shouldn't upgrade the spring to over around 420 cause it just annihilates your trigger box...

Buy a zero trigger than you can get an m170 for all i care and it won't break, but definately get a better trigger system....
I'm in the process of getting a zero for my l96 right now but I'm out of money :( darn beach!

You should be fine if you plan on getting a 130 and you will be plenty below 500 fps .Just keep in mind I recommend you upgrade your trigger box first.The second upgrade you should get is a new hop-up as the stock one isn't the worst but makes a huge difference .

I have been running a "stock" trigger box since last fall with my L96 shooting close to the + or - 500 fps mark. Aslong as your not yanking the bolt back like your loading a 50cal you should be fine. I have 2 L96's with this set up holding together. Everyone makes comments about "you should upgrade this and that" The problem I see it's comments they have read somewhere and have YET to try themselves.
I have found that when I upgraded with the cheap UTG upgrade kit for the big $40-$50 it will run you at about 500 fps. With using the upgraded UTG bolt and guiderod and the "stock" spring that runs my L96 in the high 490ish range.(Depending on the chrono)
