What is this?
I’m no mechanic, is this spring attachment aftermarket? If so, what purpose does it serve? Thanks! https://www.camaro5.com/forums/attac...1&d=1653256947

It "adjusts" spring rate by shoring out one turn of the coil to stiffen the spring. It has a threaded rod with the the ability to adjust further, but the "adjustment" has little effect compared to just taking out one coil.
It is a piece of s#i#. Take it off and throw it away before it causes the spring to break. |

Is it just as simple as loosening the inner nuts to remove it?

Looks like it. Make sure that corner is off the ground to release the spring tension a bit when you do it

These are for lifting the car up by spreading the coils out. It’s a thing you see on the donk cars to fit larger rims. If you flip the top bracket 180* and tighten it can compress the spring to give a lower look like a drop spring.
If you remove that your ride quality should increase a bit and not be as stiff.
