The harder springs I used are also from Ultimarc, after installing them the sticks feel much more solid which makes them feel like a higher quality stick.

That might fit a JLW, I don't know for sure. I put the octagonal restrictors on my JLWs because that was the restrictor I chose for my U360s (my set up includes 2 of each), and well, a U360 is just a modified JLW so I knew they would work. I picked them for the U360s because I didn't want the circular restrictor, but wanted to be able to squeeze out a little more analog room than the square restrictor (even though analog is hindered with any restrictor on the U360), while still being able to feel not only the diagonals easily, but the verticals and horziontals as well. Advantage? It's more of a preference thing, sense of worth is subjective. Circular motions are more fluid as opposed to when using a square restrictor. The biggest contribution to making the JLWs better would be the harder springs, they don't feel as flimsy once the springs are installed. Try it out, it's only money.

I will try out a JLF octo restrictor on my JLW. You'd have to drill holes to mount it though :(
How much are the octos for the U360's?
Nephasth:
$14 +shipping.

I agree that the JLWs are great sticks.
Thanks for the idea of trying some older cherrys with levers, I find the click of the Sanwas a bit annoying.
I'm also gonna try the stiffer spring.
anyone know of a US source for the stiffer spring? In the mean time, I'll just stretch the stock ones.
