I rebuilt some of these a few months ago. As Robbie says, the position of the spring horns is critical. I can't recall on the GPX's but I have seen cases where the length of the horns on rotational springs differs from end to end - as in the case Robbie cites for the 8 speed STI's. This would come to bear on getting them to lay flat if a horn bottoms out prematurely in a too-shallow hole, as. Result could be binding.
