Need an answer to this quick lads. Apex seal springs

Got my 3mm RA seals through. 2 piece.

I have 2 options here, I can buy 3mm springs and use 1 spring per seal

or

I can machine these seals for another spring and use 3mm standard springs or even 2mm springs.

I have read that with 1 spring in the 3mm seals the middle of the seal sags (I find it a bit hard to belive TBH) but if I have the chance of using 2 springs I will as the 2mm uses them and the 3mm should anyway.

Do they do 3mm dual springs??? or am I stuck with 1 spring or should I use 2mm springs???

Personally I am in favor of using 2 springs per seal so I get a better seal and I cant see usiong 2mm springs a problem TBH.
