Default Sensitive Accelerator Pedal

I've never driven another 993, only my own. The accelerator pedal is very light and sensitive. Often when going over a bump (in low gears) which causes the car to bounce, it then causes my foot to engage the pedal upon each bounce, ending up in a jerky high-rev, low-rev, high-rev situation until I completely back off the pedal.

The car has upgraded, Bilstein PSS8 coilovers, and otherwise rides well. Has anyone experienced this? Is it something that shouldn't be happening with a properly set up car? I assume there is no way to stiffen up the pedal?

Hmm. Have a look at your pedal cluster and the accelerator linkage. Something seems abnormal.
