VPC WarBRD Base Heavy Spring Set
Introduced by popular demand, this extra heavy spring set steps up the centering force of your VPC WarBRD base. It delivers around 50 percent stronger centering than the heavy springs supplied with the WarBRD base, which makes a real difference when you run heavy grips or long stick extensions that need a firmer return to centre. Note that because of the increased force, this set is intended for hard-mounted setups, not loose desktop use.
Works with
- The VPC WarBRD-D Base and VPC WarBRD base family (confirm your exact base with us if unsure)
- Setups running heavy grips or long stick extensions
- Hard-mounted bases (not recommended for loose desktop use, see FAQ)

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much stronger is this spring set?+
It provides around 50 percent stronger centering force compared to the heavy springs that come included with the VPC WarBRD base. It is the firmest WarBRD spring option for pilots who want a stronger return to centre.
Who is it for?+
It is aimed at pilots running heavy grips or long stick extensions. The added mass of those setups benefits from a stronger centering force so the stick returns to centre crisply rather than feeling soft.
Can I use it on a desktop base that is not bolted down?+
It is not recommended. Because the centering force is significantly higher, VIRPIL advises against loose desktop use. This set is best on a hard-mounted base so the extra force does not move the base around.
Which base does it fit?+
It is made for the VPC WarBRD base family. Our stocked base is the VPC WarBRD-D Base. If you want to confirm fitment for your exact WarBRD variant, contact us before ordering.
What if I want the widest adjustment range instead?+
VIRPIL notes that the VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Base offers the widest range of adjustment with the strongest potential centering force of their gimbal bases. If you are weighing up options, we can talk you through the difference.
Is it hard to fit?+
It is a standard spring swap on the WarBRD base using the supplied instructions. VIRPIL also publishes a WarBRD base guide on their support centre.
Is it covered by warranty in Australia?+
Yes. Every VIRPIL product is backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the Authorised Australian & NZ Distributor for VIRPIL, Player1 Sim Gear handles any warranty claim locally, so there is no need to ship internationally. Call 0488 385 870 if you have an issue.
Why buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than overseas?+
Player1 Sim Gear is the Authorised Australian & NZ Distributor for VIRPIL. Buying from us means local stock, a valid Australian GST tax invoice, protection under Australian Consumer Law, and warranty handled here in Queensland rather than overseas.
Are prices in AUD and do they include GST?+
All prices on our store are in Australian dollars and include GST. You will receive a full Australian tax invoice with your order.
