Just installed the MTEC clutch spring on my 2017 86. I used a tiny flat head to pop the c-clip out, and a large flat head for the rest. Install was fairly straight forward with the included zipties. Took me just 15 minutes from start to finish.
For my impressions, to start lets just say I had the same complaints as everyone else. Car made me feel like a novice at manual (mainly at low speeds, would get some jerks as I would think the clutch was disengaged when it wasnt). Especially evident when switching back and forth between a miata which is one of the easiest manual cars I have ever driven. The spring definitely helps with feeling the engagement, and is much better for slower speeds. The engagement still isnt as smooth as my miata, but it is heaps better than it was.
Without trying "no spring" to compare, its hard to say if this would be a huge improvement over that for the price. But I did notice very minimum deadplay with the mtec spring which seems to be one of the main complaints of the spring removed. I would say give no spring a shot, and if you can't live with the deadplay, this is a better alternative then adjusting the clutch switch (which could have detrimental effects if you adjust it to far out and get slight drag on the clutch without realizing)
