Tanabe coilovers

Looks great. But I wouldn't want a soft ride at all. Maybe they'll be different. Could someone shine in on what the helper springs do? I've read about them years

helper springs, which aid in rebound stability through corners and over road imperfections. They also serve the additional function of keeping the main spring under proper preload.
