If the tires tend to lift, the helper spring's stroke helps maintain contact with the road.
Square-section helper springs are standard front and rear.

Comp-1 lower-mount type.
The soft helper spring also makes jack-up height adjustment easy and quick.
Even when the car is lowered substantially, the springs do not become loose or rattle.
Shorter compressed length reduces stress and improves the helper spring's durability.
The square-section seat design increases the stroke of the main coil spring.
The square-section flat shape improves stable contact, especially when compressed.
A standard 6 mm rubber sheet greatly reduces noise when the springs compress together.
The shell case and threaded section receive double-layer plating for extra strength against stone chips.
Double-layer plating: copper plating is applied first to help the coating adhere, then nickel plating is added for strength, luster, and shine.
A Cusco-blue finish over the plating protects against scratches and rust.
A flexible bellows-style dust cover improves shock durability.
Two hook spanners are included for quick, reliable ride-height adjustment.
A complete kit with all required components, from upper mounts to dedicated bump stops.

Vehicle-specific shocks balance a low ride height with excellent comfort.
