Default non spring posi

Has anyone converted to the non spring posi set up and if so what could tell me about it. I know Tom's does it and probably others but just wanted to get an idea of what they actually do.

That was the info I wanted. When it locks without the springs it must stress against the spriders and you would have thought that was one of the reasons for the springs, but if they have been doing it for years it must work. I have one to do soon so will think about that. Thanks
