Is it safe to have gas pedal with only one of the two springs?

I recently had a really sticky gas pedal problem so i took mine apart. I found some parts that needed lubricating, and while i was down there i found that the pedal has two springs. One large, and one small. I think the small one is for extra resistance when you floor the car, and not really needed. Seeing how my gas pedal always felt a bit stiff for my liking, I removed the small spring and reinstalled the pedal assembly with only the large main spring. The car is a lot easier to drive now, but I'm worried if removing the small spring could cause any problems ?..

Anyone have any insight about this? Thanks!
I have a Drive by Wire system.
