It does both actually. The spring expands pressing the pedal up. Then as you press down on the pedal it compresses the spring until it pivots into the other direction and then starts expanding again helping press the pedal the rest of the way to the floor. If you don't adjust the engagement point after the spring removal the pedal will droop a little. I could actually see how it could put a little pressure on the TOB. The question is, is it enough pressure to make contact with the TOB. Hmmm.
That clutch engagement adjustment could also be dangerous if people preload it too much. That would probably be worse than the spring removal itself.
Perfect solution would probably be a replacement spring that has enough force to hold the pedal up but not enough to assist (mask) the pressure plate.
I did the spring but never messed with the engagement. I kind of like it better without the spring but wasn't as blown away as some others have been. Now that I've had it removed for a while I am tempted to put it back in and see if I like it better in stock form.
