Default Question for people with H&R coilovers, especially people who bought them recently.

I just bought a set of H&R Street coilovers. I noticed that there is no helper spring for the bottom of the spring. I've seen lots of pictures of other people's kits posted here on AW and it had the little helper spring. Did H&R change the setup so it doesn't need a helper spring, or am I missing a part? TIA

Default I thought older sets had no helpers, newer sets did?

Mine have helpers, purchased 12/02 from AWE.

Default my H&R streets have no helper springs on them

i believe only the ultras have them (at least that was the case a year or more back)

FWIW bought my H&R Streets ~1.5 years ago
