The 4lb tension spring for Sanwa JLF replaces the existing spring found in the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick, or Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, now adding 3.2lb more force than the original. This model is designed towards those looking for an incredibly high-tension feel, which is favored amongst some players who don't like the loose feel of the JLF.
Now you can save 35 cents on the 4lb JLF spring when you bundle it with the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick, Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK Silent Microswitch Joystick, Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK Joystick (No Plate Installed) or FA Nippon ALU battops. Just choose "Add 4lb JLF Tension Spring" from listing options.
When I let go of the lever it doesn't bounce back and forth ad do a bunch of inputs anymore. Unknown on Mar 4th 2024

Having gone from the stock spring to a 2lb and now a 4lb spring it does make a difference in how the lever feels when you move. 4lb spring benefits levers with a big and wide balltop or battop cause it won't feel to loose when you do your motions. Unknown on Sep 2nd 2023
This tension spring definitely improved my arcade stick Pablo on Feb 10th 2023
The 1lb. springs that come with stock Sanwa and Arcade1Up sticks are too flimsy and kiddy for me personally. My movements and combos instantly became more precise. My cabs and fight sticks have a premium feel now. A must buy if you don’t want a loose/wobbly stick. Unknown on Nov 19th 2022
I originally bought this to experiment and to see if I'd like it. Turns out this is the best Arcade product I have invested in. After watching Focus Attack's video on how to change and modify parts of a fightstick I was able to install this spring in just 20 minutes and got back to playing within the hour. I was really feeling the quickness of returning to neutral way faster than my previous 1lb tension spring and fell in love with my 4lb. If you want something that might require a little more strength and exaggerated inputs at times for better overall inputs I would recommend the 4lb tension spring. JP on Apr 13th 2022
Spring held a lot of tension, ended up being too much for my tastes but the product was a described and shipped fairly quickly Unknown on Oct 1st 2021
I grew up going to arcades with levers that has such tension though im not sure if theyre either korean or american. Been disappointed with both my old madcatz stick and my new razer panthera evo’s stock sanwa jlfs them being too loose and giving me wonky inputs. I didn’t want to bother replacing them with korean levers since id have to do some custom mountings. This 4 lb spring was the solution i was looking. I was a bit hesistant with either 2 lb or 4 lb but i went ahead and installed the stiffest of the two and wow, im not going back. Goes to neutral really quick. I play tekken and wave dashing + mixups makes it much easier to execute. Drewjitsu on Aug 13th 2020
I like the oversize actuators, but these springs really tie the experience together. The micro switches get an earlier touch from the actuators and the heavy springs get to neutral so much quicker for an unequaled "economy of movement" Unknown on Jun 10th 2020
worked great in my arcade 1up machines. David on May 19th 2020
