Figured I would wait for the product users. Here's what I see in the photo at Brocks':
Might not the washers fit closer to the wall so the spring can float where it wants? I doubt that spring is going to go through the hole of the washer. Not to worry.
There are a set of thick cheater washers that are used with stock springs. You read the text for one way to cheat the spring. I'll show you spring setup and clutch release action-happen-effect. OK, this a thick washer that is going to take up the coil bind on the quick.
You already have the pressure plate moved out so far, but the return is quicker, along with a stronger bite to the pack. Remember, these are thick washers you could weld two nickels together to make one washer. Say you look at it for argument sake, that the height is lost on the throw. You have a [shorter] feeding problem as you solve one, another one is created.

There are the thinner washers to play with. These now can replace the thicker washers. The heavy duty spring that you tired to mimic with the coin size thickness, where now, you can more balance a feel on the pressure set with the thinner washers. This brings back the full throw, the bite you want, the trouble created is gone. This is the better setup I would think is a happier hand.

Back to the shorter throw stock springs, thick washers/thin washers:
Now, I have a possibility to bring the feel back to having a slightly longer lever throw. Probably not as well as full travel, locking up the pack better. But if we are thinking street race/go to work bike, you can double package the washers and combo like so, you forgo the HD-springs.
