Sprint booster install

Does anyone with a sprint booster have problems with the way the pedal mounted back down after install ? I cant get the pedal to screw back into place because the sprint booster is touching the floor!

Yep I had to do the same, one end of the device doesn't "click'' but its firm. I was wondering about the new one as well, but our cars keep on adjusting after a while so not sure if it is worth getting it

I know the first time I tried to screw down the pedal I had a difficult time threading the bolts. I never had to cut any of the carpeting. No problems since.
Keep at it.
