So I know Steeda makes a clutch spring replacement for the Focus ST. I contacted them and they said they are unsure if it will also work on the Fiesta. Has anyone used any type of other replacement spring like the Hillman #47 that the FoST guys use? I don’t want to just remove the spring.

I've been working on prototyping and distributing a clutch return spring for the Fiesta ST, however its still in its infancy, we have no idea what the market is like for these and getting a custom spring made requires to buy a few hundred... they aren't cheap!

Well I’ll go ahead and say I would definitely be in for that! I know plenty of guys that have removed it entirely but I won’t go that route. If you need a guinea pig let me know. I might try a Home Depot special if nobody else has anything in mind.

I popped mine out but I ended up hating it, it was nice for like 15 minutes and then it was horrible. When my friend gets back from his trip we will work on getting it sized properly and rated.

Just thought you'd like an update... We've gotten measurements and are working on finding out what the Steeda FoST spring rate is so that we can prototype a few springs. Cost should be around what the FoST kit costs from Steeda.

Awesome! Like I said if you want a tester besides your own cars I’ll volunteer. Thanks for the update.

Personally I feel like every FiST is entirely different. My clutch is light, my partners is heavy, some of our other friends are somewhere in between. It makes no sense to me (hello Ford QC). But I'm definitely down to get some springs out to test if/when we get that far.

Just curious what you ever found out? Wether you found a solution, or do you still have the measurements so i could try to find another spring eithout popping mine out?

Hey, did this ever go anywhere? Love my FiST but hate the clutch pedal currently. I think this is exactly what I’m looking for…
