oh in the stop and go traffic sometimes, at lights and what not, i will use my left foot on the brake pedal...but the pedel does nothing, doesnt get pushed in at all, and if i am on a hill the car will drift even though i am pushing the pedel with my left foot...once i go back to right it stops...i think it might be a safety device so the brake doesnt get hit when the clutch pedal is being used

A strait rate spring is not going to handle harsh bumps at all.
