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.

Yeah that was weird to me too.. dont know why they came out so easyly.
thats one reson why i think they may be getting old.
But yeah. im deff going to replace everything in the back sense the front is new... ish...
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.
