helper springs

  1. #1
    what are they?
    do saxos have them? vtr 2002?
    are they on the frontend??

    i'm confused because chandler said he needed to remove them to lower his car another 25mm at the front??

    i know this is a major bump, but i need to know this?

    other than being too low if you remove them, is there anything dangerous about it?

    Helper springs only take up the gap between the main spring and the top mount when the main spring dislocates for example, on a jump.

    No it's only to stop negative preload jolt as the springs hit their seats again after landing a jump. When the springs lift off their seats and bang back into them
