: Helper/Tender springs for GC's?

Does anybody know if GC or any other company makes or sells helper springs for GC coilovers? I know that Truechoice uses them with some suspension kits, are these springs available by themselves so people with regular GC's can use them? TIA :)

Yes, Ground control sells them. I have them installed on my GC coilovers.

You can get them from GC IIRC, but it will about double the price of the kit.

Dang! I can't seem to find the price for the helper springs on the GC site. Are they as much as the springs and sleeves themselves?

I believe the springs are 7inches. The only diffrence is in the rear I had to take the mounting hat off of the shock. This allows the GC coupler to mount lower.

You can also get the tender springs from Turechoice. They have the prices listed on their online catalog.

sorry for the newbie comment but i gotta learn somewhere; what exactly do helper springs do?

Tender springs put the suspension under pre-load at all times.
This keeps the suspension quiet and free from any possible unseating.
