The lower spring is an assistor spring designed at a lot lower poundage than the main spring so it sits totally compressed when weight is on it and will extend when the suspension is 'light' in order to keep the main spring in place and stop it rattling around, it needs to be a spring then it can extend as expected. If you didnt have those the spring could come out of the top spring cup and when weight is returned the spring may sit out of the cup or be noisy when going back into the cup. The assistor spring keep enough pressure to keep the spring in the top seat / cup at all times

The car can still be dropped quite a bit, AST did offer to do it but I decided to see if it dropped by itself, I didn't want it too low.
The spring, which isn't really a spring would be fitted where then? If I were to go lower the above could happen? Fine on load but could clunk when not loaded, would it go right at the bottom to space the assistor spring higher up? To stop keep the main spring pushed up in location on the top cone?
