A look at how the rear shock and rear spring fits.  Having the rear spring separate for the shock takes the spring binding side load off the shock shaft.  This force can be as much as 300 lbs.  This gives the potential for more traction and a better ride compared to the coil over set up we used on Dai Yoshihara's Z although his setup is lighter.

The Whiteline front bar is slightly smaller in diameter than stock but it is solid vs hollow like the stock bar.  It is two position adjustable and sits in urethane bushings (part number BNF33Z).  The bar is over 100% stiffer than stock.  The gold anodized clamps keep the bar from shifting from side to side when installed.
