Suspension should be fine as it is fella also not too sure if you can get small enough spring assitors to go in a coil over spring

I'd fit them personaly...Im having trouble with my Avo coil over springs coming away from their seat, so I really could do with a set of helpers for them tbh. Think you can get them from most tuning shops, tried RandB motorsport? You just need the springs and collars I believe.

When you jack the car up the back springs tend to fall out of place (whick is a pain when lowering car back down), i've fitted some to my rear Std GAZ coilovers, got them from Rally Design i think.
Don't cost a lot.
And as long as you have a centimeter or so more threads below the spring platform you'll be fine.

Spring helpers and helper springs are two different things...

Fred Crawford in Larne has helper springs on the shelf. As Charlie Luciano says, i don't think you can get spring assistors for coilover springs, don't see what you'd want or need them either?

I've helper springs on my Bilsteins
