Mine had nylon..if your welding on top brackets for dampers I would remove springs just to be on the safe side plus check their condition if it's a fresh import from Delhi as their roads are pretty lumpy to say the least 
mine had a broken spring on inspection.

Yes.... What Andy says!
Strip them down! Doesn't take too long. A job worth doing ....

Do the stops have bent over strips of metal that hold them In place? If they do bend them over for ease of removal.
