Re: coil springs
All depends how you want to make the axles fit.
The easiest is to use a vit axle on the rear, then you just need to chop the trailing arms down so they will mount in the old spring mounts. However deoending on what chasis you have will determin where you move the mounts on the axle too.
This is the 2 link setup
