This sounds very wrong. Helpers sound like a very bad idea on a rally car. You would much rather have the right length spring if allowed or move the perch IMHO.

Did you change springs too? Do new struts have more throw?

If throw is unchanged then distance between perches should be the same for the same spring. If more throw, you need longer springs if allowed.
