Fitted them happy with the front but rears are all the way down and want more lows lol. Someone said take out the rear helpers so just spring is in has anyone done this And how did it ride. Can't see how it would be much dif to standard as they just sit in

Loads of people have done it. It rides no differently to having them in just lowers it another 10-20mm.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

btw, there the rear adjusters, the helper spring is the smaller spring, and yes it will lower it another 10-20 mm,
