Default Brake Bias Spring

If you believe what you read, the articles claim that installing a new bias spring in the master cylinder will improve on all around stopping. Has anyone had any real experiencewith this mod?
Thanks

I installed it about two years ago. Really helped out the braking, evened out the front to back brake bias. The car stops flatter, less front end dive since its more even braking. I think it helps keeping it under control, espcially if you need to brake in a turn.

..a decent mod to even out the braking but will do nothing cumulatively to increase braking force..

I think it cost me a whole $12; did improve the feel.
