Just took these off the latest aquisition. As a towbar was fitted (now removed) I`m assuming they`re coilspring assisters ???

If the bigyin doesn't take them would they be any good on an Elite estate? Or does the self levelling cancel any benefits out.
I'm thinking of having one of them pikey bars fitted soon.
