Hey, Tomasz - I'm still running without the helper springs.
Seems to work OK except for the funny spring noise when you lower the car off the jacks. Did you discover some other reason to run them?
Moss still has my car, tuning the GT28RS. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas... Wish he'd finish up already.

Do you ever get your rear wheels off the ground in corners?
The rear wheel that comes off for the last 1" of travel as it still has contact with the pavement is NOT loaded at all. And as you come back down you hope that the spring will seats itself properly again. In most or as far as I know call cases it does, but from a pure engineering standpoint the helper spring would keep the main seated properly all the time.
I do not recommend that you make a special pit stop and dismount the suspension just to add these, but when you get these shocks refreshed you may want to think about spending the $150 and adding helpers in teh rear.
I do not worry about this for teh front as:
1. The amount of shock travel without any spring pressure is miniscule on our kits
2. I have yet to see our Audi raise its front wheel in cornering.
