That's how I'm running it: No spring. Def. a better difference.

I know this is an old thread, but it deserves a re.read.

Removing the spring is THE best mod ever. I,ve been driving stick shift since 1970 and never had the crazy lurching as with the Z.
Spring gone, perfect smoothness!!!!!!

ANd the higher effort is barely noticeable, and cruise control works perfect.

People here have changed the spring with a softer one instead of just removing the oem one. I am trying to go this route as I hate the stock clutch feeling.
