Damn sure I am certain I built my VK from the ground up and I put the springs on mine.

I have an exploded diagram in holden part finder will have to load it on an old PC as PF will run on XP but not on a later OS

I checked from pics of my rear brake setup and you can see thespring in the backing plate. Plus I remember slicing my hand open when I slipped fitting one on my diff. I have the scar to prove

anyway heres a pic where you can clearly see the spring.
