Greylocks, that doesn't answer my question nor was it what I'm asking. pizzainthemorning stated that his PDI 170% is pushing 400+ fps in his ver 2 mechbox and was asking how to make it more durable while keeping a similar muzzle velocity. Some of the answers here were to change to a higher quality spring of the same FPS but if the spring outputs the same energy, how would that stop the mechbox from cracking?

Agreed much better quality and less pressure = longer mechbox life
That's a rather ludicrous statement. You're saying a high tension spring like the Guarder SP120 outputs less energy into your mechbox than teh stock low tension CA spring yet you get a higher fps?

The stronger the spring, the more damage it does to the version 2 mechbox.
