The lighter spring helped me engage better 1st better. For me, the stock spring always seemed to 'kick back' at the engagement point (which is higher than I like), and it caused me to be jerky.
With the 1-2 shift, I have to force myself to wait for the revs to come down a bit before engaging when cruising around town. When I was new to the MT Z, numerous people told me to shift relative to the amount of acceleration. IE.) Shift slower when driving normally, then shift faster when beating on it. The Z does not like rushed shifts if you're driving like a granny.
