Actually I just ordered mine earlier today

But I think a lot of members can chime in on here. It's a popular mod and basically it makes the clutch easier to feel. At first people started removing the spring completely (which gives the ultimate feel) but I think there would be long term issues with lateral support.

So as a result, a few members ordered springs identical in size but just softer than oem and sell them to other members.

It sounds like it makes the clutch pedal heavier?

My biggest complaint is the engagement point. I wonder if I could put some kind of 1/2 inch spacer in the travel of the clutch pedal so that the pedal stops 1/2 before the end of its stock travel which would effectively adjust the engagement point by 1/2 inch.

Anyone try this?

EDIT: It seems a lot of people in that thread just removed the helper spring rather than replace it. Whats the advantage to replacing vs removing it?
