springs on the rear are seperate from the struts. They normally wouldn't be replaced. If you put heavier springs in , you should also replace sway bar.

Do NOT do just rear FE2 springs. If you do that, do ALL 4, and both swaybars.
If you want to improve the rear, replace the rear struts with elc struts, and use the kit for manual filling like jr's3800 did.

Changing suspension rates on just on end will change the handling balance of the car.
It'* not fun when you find yourself unexpectedly going backwards.
