yea i think only hurley makes the dual-sprung 3mm seals, which i used to have in my motor, RA says you can modify their's to be dual sprung, but i dont think id want to grind away at my apex seals.

Dual springs allow the seals to have even pressure against the rotor housing. The additional middle spring helps keep the seals from warping in the center (which was very common on the seals in the 1st gen Rx7 due to having only one spring) because pressure is applied to the seal at the corner and center.
