they help when for example in a rally u jump and the normal spring would loose its tension and dislocate when tire is fully off ground. there the helper spring prevents the dislocation of the normal spring. for your usage forget the helper spring

They are used to stop spring dislocation when the car is jacked up as they are very weak and take up the free space when they expand as the weight of the car is lifted.
I Got avo coilovers but have never found the need for them as spring always goes back in seat when lowered but I do check to make sure, there is usualy a bit of crud holding spring in top seat, and the seat inner edges are tapered a bit as well to assist with the correct location.
