You can take them out but if your collars are at full low your spring will unseat when you drive up driveways and such.

You may bottom the shocks out too.

That being said, I'm planning on taking the helper springs off of my HAs next weekend.

What is too stiff? The damping or the springs? Or the helper springs (since this is what the topic is about)?
