9's with 2 springs as well here. If I decide to go up to 10's , I'll add another spring.

How you have your springs configured depends really on whether you want some float in the bridge.
With 2 springs and the claw well forward you will probably end up with some float.
I'm using 10's 3 springs I I I with the claw wound up touching the body.
I therefore have no float and I can dive to get the "Hendrix" type things!!
If you set the springs in a V think back to your Maths Geometry lessons.
You are increasing the length of the spring therefore adding more resistance to the trem.

Photos of Hendix show the trem cavity fully loaded with 5 springs.

Thanks again, guys. The main reason I asked was to see if I could get my Petrucci trem to feel similar to the Axis floyd trem. The Petrucci trem to me seems a little stiffer and was wondering if going to two springs would make a huge difference. Couldn't remember if the Axis came with two or three springs from the factory.
