Default 63 rear struts

Can I replace the rear struts with the rear spring in place?

I've got 60K+ miles in my 328 Ferrari.... love the way it handles.... been a DD for me off and on for six years...I live in the country so can fling it through the twisties..... and I've got several thousands of miles in the rain in the car..... I can't imagine the C8 would be less stable than my 32-year-old car.....

That's outstanding 4thC4, but how is that applicable to OP's question about removing his strut rods from his 63 two years ago?
