The spring isn't the issue at all. If I were to open the mechbox, I'd just install a sorbo head or nozzle pad to absorb the impact. Opening the mechbox of any stock gun is opening a can of worms. I've worked on dozens of mechboxes and the addage of "if it ain't broken don't fix it" is more true in airsoft than many other things.
If your gun is shooting amazingly well and legal, why drop it? A downside to lower FPS is that you must use lower weight BBs = less range, less flight stability, less brush penetration. I use mostly 0.25s and am moving to 0.28s.
