The clutch in these cars is not heavy. To me, it does not feel any heavier without the spring. What it does feel is more natural and linear. You can try taking the spring out and see how you like it. If you want to, you can always put it back in or try the MTEC spring which is in between the stock spring and no spring. Personally I think it's a lot harder to develop the muscle memory and identify the feel of the clutch with that stupid spring creating an artificial feel.
I drive in plenty of rush hour stop and go traffic and not having the clutch spring is a total nonissue.
I've been driving manuals since they were called "standards" and even I get the herky jerkys on shifting every so often in this car. Don't overthink it just let yourself get a feel for it.
