Default 991.2 GT3 rear helper springs

It was my understanding that .2’s (non RS) had rear helper springs and per elephant racing (https://www.elephantracing.com/tech-...sion-overview/) the .1 gt3’s had them as well? Not a big deal except I swapped to swift springs and noticed my rears definitely didn’t have helpers:


So .2’s don’t have rear helpers and .1’s do?

I'll go take a look under my car later today and let you know. I thought the .2 GT3 had helper springs.

Thanks for the re-confirmation. Seems like another case of AP propaganda (@ 5:30 in this video):

Yeah... weird. They also claimed the RS has rose jointed suspension, which is not the case.

Shaking my head...is AP lost on specs of his own car?
