Default New wg spring stiffness?

Kit came with a 10lb spring. Took it out and switched it out with a 6lb spring i just bought. Shouldnt the 6 lb spring feel much lighter to compress? They feel identical?

Its really hard to tell by feel. You really need a low resolution air regulator hooked to a air compressor hooked to the wastegate and just watch for when it starts to open and that should tell you which spring you have.

If you bought it as a 6 lb spring its prob a 6 lb spring.
