vert guys with springs

So I read EVERYTHING on these forums and consider myself well educated as a good parts swapper! :SNSign:

While changing my oil this w/e I noticed that the springs are in a different location that the traditional shock/strut with other cars. So now I realize why verts have different springs.

Am I correct? This seems to make the spring switch a whole lot easier. I'd love to get some feedback on your spring swaps.
