Yeah I know, I have the softer spring, but it was a pain in the ass lying on my back to remove it, that I just decided to leave it out. I can always put it back if I ever decide to sell the car. You would be surprised how much natural the clutch feels once you remove the spring. Stupid spring puts so much pressure on the pedal coming back up that you have to be riding the clutch early on a red light so you don't stall the car . Now I can just put the car in gear when the light turns green and go. It takes a few minutes to get use to it, but once you get use to it you start wondering how you drove the car before with that piece of **************** spring in there. I think the spring is there to aid the cruise control switch.
