Things I liked: Relative ease of installation. I installed it by hand, no spring compressor. It was a challenge but doable. My HW30S is a little easier to cock (not that it was difficult before) and maybe a little quieter (tho pretty quiet to begin with). Shot cycle does feel a little smoother.
Things I would have changed: The printed directions that came with it have plenty of room for improvement.
What others should know: This spring is noticeably shorter and stiffer than the stock spring. My HW30S (.177, bought mid-2014) started dropping FPS for no obvious reason just before Xmas. Careful lube, (then later) disassembly, & cleaning didn't help. I decided I was going to try to replace the piston seal and since it would be a major tear down anyway, I figured I'd get the Vortek kit and see if I get better performance out of the rifle. Was it worth it? Short answer: YES. Long answer: 5-shot chronograph averages before and after the Vortek install. RWS Hobby 7.0 AVG FPS before / after: 556 / 663 RWS MeisterK 8.2 AVG FPS before / after: 495 / 615 RWS Superdome 8.3 AVG FPS before / after: 490 / 583 Not seeing Vortek's advertised 9+FPE though. I never chrony'd these before the upgrade. H&N Match Green 5.25 AVG FPS: 812 Crosman Prem Hvy 10.5 (4 shot) AVG: 442 The before numbers were recorded about 2 years ago, just after I got my chrony, and at a time when I considered my HW30S in peak condition.

Things I liked: They are the best spring on the market that I've tried
Things I would have changed: The springs are high priced so maybe alittle cheaper
What others should know: They need to gather more info because older models of air guns that the spring is sold for may need some modifications.
