Good point - a company here that makes training simulators uses this method
sometimes in combination with rubber "bumpers".

For accellerators/throttles springs of various compression rates are stacked
on on top of the other to enhance the progressive feel. For brake pedals
rubber bumbers of different diameters / lengths are stacked up to give a
realistic feeling pedal.

This is of course irrelevant if you do need the electronic solution for
other reasons.
