add that into the poll

I replaced it. Felt the difference for a couple days, newness wore off, feels like normal now. Worth it? IDK, not really.

I changed it, didn't like it, went back to stock. Currently I getting a South Bend Stage 3 clutch (with all the goodies) installed, I'll play with the spring again to see how it feels with the new clutch.

Changed it out - thought it helped a bit. I think I'm just used to driving the car now. I've had the car about 2 months and it's still not super smooth to drive (granted, this is my first stick shift car).

Except, for $20, it's worth trying.

How do you like this unit? Been thinking about getting one myself.


Oh. And for the poll, i changed my spring. It's a little different, but not drastically different.

I like it a lot, aside from the F.I. CBE, it is the best upgrade I've done. With Swift springs a close 3rd.

I am one of those 3 who only removed the spring...

Like it at the beginning cos the pedal feels much better, now I got used to it, they do have a bit, tiny bit of play, but it doesn't affect anything after getting used to it.

I replaced the spring, then had some weird creaking noise every time I hit the clutch so now I rock no spring, and have the helper spring in my tool box. I would never put the stock spring back in unless I took the car back to the stealership for some warranty issue.
