in order to get the rear springs in you have to drop the rear axel and in order to do that u have to loosen the bolt to the shock.

He was probably just looking for the mcpherson type strut, and didn't know we have a twisting beam in back, no need to be mean brandon

PS have you gotten re tuned yet? or put the cooling mods/lsj tmap in?

The car can drive without rear shocks. They do nothing to hold the car up. Thats what the springs are for. The ride would be intolerably bouncy tho.

They are a little more forward from the spring. If you look through your wheel you will see them
