The geometry must be different with the later design.

Interesting mod. Does a MY2000 have this newer designed clutch geometry?
PS - How easy would it be to put the spring back in if one disliked the new stiffness?

In 1999, the pedal and boost spring was redesigned, but the change of the pedal is irrelevant. As far as this mod goes, all 996's have the same setup, regardless of when it was built.
Yes, the mod can easily be reversed.

Not sure about 911/964 with G50.
993 has a boost spring at the pedal cluster.

Only a retard would take offense to that jab.

Hamilton, come on man, that was clearly said in jest. Because you're part of this community (actually now that I look, I noticed you're not a paying member), we assume that we're all quasi-friends who share a bond as a result of our love for Porsches. Come on, read it again, it was playful, and definitely something I would say to a buddy that I was joking around with....

Fear not, if you hang out here for a little longer your skin will get thicker.

When I was on the basketball team in high school, the captain of the team was a huge tool and his idea of having a laugh was to just call some random kid a bunch of names or make fun of his clothes or something. I was usually the only one who would tell him to knock it off. If you look at my other posts, I think it is pretty evident that I'm really not that serious. I guess I've always had a little bit of a hair-trigger about that same sort of "just joking around." I don't mind being hazed but if anyone has ever seen "The Man With Two Brains" with Steve Martin, this sort of thing is the equivalent of saying "cleaning woman" to me. And littering...I hate littering. I have gotten into three fights confronting litterers. Maybe I do have some issues...hmmmm. Sorry for temporarily hijacking the thread.
