Helper Springs

RyanWest · 12-19-2012, 03:40 PM

Since putting on my Stance coils ive taken the helper springs off the back. Now my question is can i remove the entire cup that holds the spring? I see it connects to the rotor. would save some weight if i could.

So you are really worried about the weight of some helper springs?

Are you asking if you can replace the mid link on the rear suspension that the original spring uses since you went to a true coilover? If so, yes you can with this.

Are you talking about the helper spring on the coilover or the actual spring perch for the OEM spring? If you're talking about the spring perch for the OEM spring you will have to get an aftermarket toe arm to go in its place.

no no... ok... so you know the actual piece the help spring goes into? can i remove that all together since there is no spring in it now?

I personally do not, but I do have a camber arm lol. Just for future reference, a helper spring is commonly referred to a secondary spring on coilovers. What you're talking about is the rear suspension spring. Is there information that you're trying to gather from the picture or do you just want to see it out of curiosity?

Haha I could be wrong. That could be a term that I have never come across lol. The link that he posted, those arms are awesome. I have the SPL camber arms on my 370 and the quality of the materials and build is great. The adjustments are made easy too with the way the arms are made. On my 350z I had some random arms, and when you adjust them and tighten the lock nuts, it would cause the heim joints to **** to one side not allowing proper movement with suspension travel.
