18b diff springs

[soup99]

i was building my new 18b diffs and as i was tightening down the diff screw i heard a crack so i took the diff back apart, here the spring compressed and bent and would not return to normal shape. i went on the toyz website to order some new ones and all they have on there are 10l front springs which say that they will work, so i ordered them and they don't have nearly the tension that the stock ones do. I was wondering if anyone has tried them and if they work, or maybe someone knows of a different option, or should i just reorder the stock ones, thanks

ive only ever used the stock associated ones that came with the kit.

You can get replacement springs for the MIP SuperDiffs but I don't know whether they will work in the stock diff:
