Remove helpers from FK coilovers?

Hi all, my corsa currently sits on 100mm lowering springs at the rear and FK street coilovers at the front which are wound right down but it's still not low enough for me. The ride is perfectly fine just now but I was wondering if taking the helper springs out would ruin my ride comfort? Some people say just do it others gets all techical about it so I'm after a reasonable answer.

I never used my helper springs tbh so i cant compare with and without but with out it gave it a good ride leaving it softer than with the helpers but if you remove yours it will stiffen the shock quite abit imo but might make little difference

I know when mine were winded down it was solid without the helper springs

I'd say remove them

So without helper springs would it be a softer or stiffer ride?

Will the car be much lower without helpers?

Inch and a half- 2 inches but again I've never fitted mine so that's just what other people say and we fitted them to a civic and it looked about 2 inch higher
