actually no.


if you want low - take it out.

I think the helper spring has something to do w/ preload

ok so my main question is will i be able to go lower if i remove it?

yes

Marginally, yes.

If you remove it, you'll be able to get your car lower, as ^^^ said.

If it's a true helper spring, the rate should be really low, and it's basically there to keep the main spring from flopping around under droop.

If it's a tender spring, it will have a bit higher rate that actually contributes somewhat to the overall spring rate and can help get more usable droop travel. Here's an (incomplete) explanation I just googled: http://www.e30m3performance.com/tech_articles/susp-tech/springs/index.htm

ok i see i just dont wanna termanily damage the coilovers, so i should be ok if theyare removed?

people told you 4 times already

you can't be too bright.

why don't you ask it few more times.

ok sorry
