Hi sorry I didn’t see you’d posted. I did contact them they told me it wasn’t a common problem and it was probably Just the rose joints as they are noisy on the road. I replied and told them what everyone had said on hear and that it was to loud just to be the rose joints and they said that it was probably the fact there is no helper springs. They also said the rose joints might have failed. I’m going to put the helper springs back in next weekend and see if it makes any difference. What do you think ?

It depends if the helper springs remove all slack once they are fitted with the car jacked.
Helper springs are a spring locator as well as offering a little bit of poundage.
I`m not sure why the helper springs would be removed, so it is best to refit them.
TBH mine act as a permanent coil bound spacer.
I also found that in order to match the ride height of the Spax units I removed, I had to use the front helper springs to keep the springs located on full drop.
One thing that puzzles me is that when I bought mine 3 years ago, I opted for 325lb front with helper spring, and 225lb rear with helper spring over the then road option of 250lb front & 175lb rear, but I now see that Kam Racing are supplying GHA with 400lb front & 300lb rear as standard fitment.
I would suspect that the units require re-valving to cope with the difference in spring rates, do you remember which spring rates you had Mark?
As to it not being a common problem, Gaz obviously were confident enough to put the required parts in the post to
@ripp ?
