Replacing the pedal springs on the G27

[sagaper]

I replaceing the brake spring with a spring from @GTEYE. And I think I should manage that.

I have seen some threads where people swap places on the original g27 springs, after they have installed the GTeye spring. But I don't find those threads now...

And I wonder where is the "best" plase to put the original springs and why?

Before I bought and installed the GTEYE spring for my G27 I read that using the original brake spring in the clutch was common. I didn't do it because it was pretty hard and would possibly result in a little fatigue(?), plus the clutch pedals in all manuals I have driven have been soft so i left it as the original.

Edit: This is where I first read it. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/the-must-have-upgrade-for-any-logitech-g25-g27-owner.279149/

Personally I have put my old brake spring in the clutch, and am thinking of putting my clutch spring in my throttle pedal. Depending on how you sit, and how sturdy your pedal set is, this could be good or bad. I like the harder/progressive springs more because I can 'feel' the pedals better, and I am looking to put the clutch in the throttle mostly because I keep putting too much throttle on my heel-toes.

The pedals in race cars are stiffer, including the clutch. (This is because more power has to be applied to the transmission, so the clutch has to be tighter to handle both that, and the lighter flywheel. This results in either a longer throw of the pedal, or a harder pedal.)

Clutch spring in trottle, an interesting idea. That I shall try, sometime.

I have wheel and pedals in a Playseat, so it should be sturdy enough.

at first i ran the recommended swap. Brake spring in the clutch, clutch spring in the accelerator. But didn't like the extra effort to use the accelerator, So i put the original spring back in. My recommendation, gteye for the brake, original brake spring for the clutch, leave the stock spring in the accelerator.
