But no additional mods are needed if you went that route.

It remains vacant. With the factory design the spring sits in a seat formed into the rear lower control arm, after market will either simply replace that spring or vacate it in favor of a spring on the strut.

Great info.

So when i buy coilovers, i will therefore need to check beforehand if it separate or as a single unit...
