Default Clutch pedal return spring

So does anyone know where you can pick one of these up for cheap? As in less than $68 at a dealership? Also, What does it feel like for those who have removed the spring? Any negative side effects? Does the pedal come up slower when you're shifting fast?

Without the spring on there the pedal can drop down and block the compensation port in the clutch master. This may leave the release brg rid on the pressure plate and if the fluid gets hot could cause the clutch to slip...

Took the spring out of mine too per Tick instructions.

Also removed it from the last car.

Mine broke a few months back. After crawling in there and seeing where it was located, I just left it. My pedal feels like garbage, but it did before. Stock clutch, 30k miles and 400rwhp doesn't go too well.. A monster clutch will be going in over the winter.

Mine broke on the way back from the dyno about 2 years ago, I never replaced it. It feels pretty much the same with and without. I have a Tick MC now, they recommend removing it anyway.
