Firstly, not sure how the FFFFFFFFFU*$*($$(($CKI$J you guys swap out the spring so easily by just removing the bottom pin. Basically, with the clutch all the way down, the spring assembly was impossible to line up with the hole and get the pin in. If I had a third hand to slightly compress the spring and bring it in line, I might have gotten it to work.
Anyway, new century spring is in, hopefully the last time I'll swap it.
The esfourteen was definitely an improvement over stock, no question. After a day with the century link spring, I have to say it is still definitely worth the change from the esfourteen. The esfourteen had a bit of slack at the top, and this reduces it to where this legitimately feels like it should be a dealer option.
Still kind of bitter about losing the top circlip and the bolt for the fuse panel piece. I guess it's my fault for doing this while sick and not being as careful as I usually am. $h1t just flying all over the place this time
