They allow you to change the ride height of the car. You can lower the car or raise it up. If you want to lower the car by a good bit, then lowered shock absorbers are needed aswell.

The seat for the spring (rubber cone) is fixed on a standard suspension but the Hi Los have a screw thread adjustment for the spring seat. This means you can dial in the ride height you want. More importantly, you can set the car up with equal weights side-to-side for optimum handling and braking.
