Not sure if this was mentioned or not but I thought I'd add something.
After removing the helper spring and re-installing all of the other OEM components (another small spring and what appears to be it's housing) the clutch felt MUCH better. That being said, I would occasionally feel a "pop" when fully compressing the clutch and letting off (in every gear). This "pop" would end a little bit into my "sweet spot" making it hard to smoothly get the car rolling. After getting back under the seat... I realized that the smaller spring was getting stuck to the housing and popping out. This is a result of no tension on the smaller spring due to the lack of the OEM spring. I removed the smaller spring and housing... VIOLA. The clutch is pretty much perfect. I don't think I'll be purchasing an aftermarket spring! TL;DR = Remove everything you see below!

 I never messed with it and got the RJM clutch pedal assembly instead. If the spring replacement/removal doesn't satisfy you, I highly recommend the RJM pedal

Funny, I just got to driving the car again from winter storage. I kept saying, "what the hell is wrong with this clutch?" especially in 1st gear. Its been 5 years now and I still feel like a newb in 1st with this car. I am going to give this at try right away.
So what is the consensus, just remove both springs vs. buying a different spring?

Also, you can buy online but its a minimum of $40 plus shipping, which is why I assume people were group buying...
