The rep case lug holes are too small to accept the gen-spec 2mm spring bars. So many modders decide to drill the lug holes out, not only to accept the 2mm spring bars, but also for a more gen-like appearance.

I had to learn this too.  Another reason I think is if you want gen-like end links like from WSO, you need the gen. Spec 2mm spring bars for proper fit inside the end links.  Otherwise you have too much slop.  So is more than just looks it sounds like.

Just to clarify, the lug holes are drilled out using a 1.25mm ideally (or 1.3mm) drill bit. The 2mm dimension refers to the diameter of the springbar, whereas the ends, which locate in the lug holes, are a smaller diameter.
