VegaTrem, an enchanting tremolo!
I bought this device (VegaTrem VT1 Std. St. Steel) after viewing many videos of similar devices and by comparison it seemed the easiest to install with an enormous availability to maneuver the bending of the guitar strings.
Everything was exactly as described. It is a stable, solid mechanism that has no major problems in keeping the strings in tone. No modifications required. As a sustain, it looks a little shorter than the original Fender I had. It compensates by keeping the tuning and maximising free movement. It comes with four types of springs. The lowest tension springs are for the 0.8. I replaced the old one in about 15 minutes. I also use Fender Locking Tunners and a Tusk nut.
As for the Cons:
What I didn't find anywhere is the size of the device. I found that it is too deep (7mm) for the body of my guitar (Fender Squier) which is only 39.7 mm. The device protrudes from the body of the guitar by approximately 7 mm. So I'm a little disappointed with that.
I don't know if it's common, but the 6 blocks that guide and adjust the pitch are not the same. I received a set that contains three normal and three that have a bevel through which you can see, at the base, the height adjustment screws (at the saddle side). They seem to belong to another device model. Either one or the other.
I gave the maximum stars because the device makes all the money! For me, what he can do is more important than what he looks like.

Great vibrato system!
The system was easier to install than I had expected, and was easy to set up properly with intonation and action.
Combined with some good locking tuners, my 2003 Fender Mexico stays in tune even after I've really abused the vibrato bar through several songs. After breaking a string all I had to do was replace the broken one and tune the new string, and it was perfectly in tune again.
Very responsive, so if you want a subtle vibrato this may not be for you. You can still do it, but need to be wary of the responsiveness.
You can tilt forwards and backwards without modifying an original vibrato system slot, and you can really go far with the bar.
Extremely good for divebombs and over the top vibrato tricks.

Vega Trem VT1
product of high construction quality, but it must always be combined with locking tuners to keep the tuning well

Bit expensive but really high quality
Easy to install, with all the necessary hardware and spring.
If you want to upgrade some lesser tremolo look no further, this won't flake, tarnish, or even have a spec of rust in many years to come.

Compatible with some sanding
I had purchased this as an upgrade for my thomann kit guitar, now its implanted its is incredible, it returns to near perfect tune after a heavy dive, however, while installing it i had to shave a fair amount of wood from the body to make it fit properly and had to shave from behind the trem block to have the space to divebomb, i have also found it ever so slightly protrudes fromt the back of the guitar so i cant have the backplate on. So of your getting it to fit to a kit guitar proceed with caution, i havent used it on a squier or fender so i cant say much about them but on a kit guitar i can say it goes about 2mm too deep into the body

The best floating tremolo for traditional or 2 pin strats
I bought this tremolo fir 2 reasons. I wanted to stabilise my existing erratic bridge and I wanted better vibrato action. After seeing this online it was exactly what I needed. Great dives and bombs, stability and also, no permanent modifications to mu guitar.
Fitted it easily in 10 mins. After a quick slight intonation adjustment it was all done. Very easy to set up.
The dives you can get are amazing, the tremolo is stable yet so responsive . Seriously, anyone wanting to improve their guitar should consider it
