all the 1.8 guys with L-jet, are you running a spring on the throttle body Options

I have a very nice running car now (thank god) finally. i dont want such a heavy pedal, i find i loose speed between shifting. i cant run without a spring going from the throtle armature to the metal torsion bar for the trunk. I have been trying smaller springs and find that the respones is awesome but they wont close the throttle all the way from a a slow down traffic light. i have to punch the pedal one time to close it and idle where i want it.

do you guys just deal with the heavy pedal, or is there a better way to get the really light pedal feel with a good close all the way action.

is it just me???

I took my spring out. The throttle plate does stick a little. I am toying with the idea of making a stop so the throttle plate does not get so tightly wedged in place. I think the extra spring is a safety device in case the one on the body breaks. Since the throttle plate has a tendency to stick and get wedged in place, I felt I didn't need any additional force.
