Are you asking if it can be changed to a true coilover? If so, then yes they can...Specific coilover companies will help you out.

My other answer would be just lower the car, and add some negative camber.

No you change where one of the suspension arms in the rear mounts to rear subframe so the geometry is correct for a lowered car it alouds more squat

Probably camber arms or trailing arms. I'm not sure there is much of a benefit if you haven't altered your suspension at all previously.

What is your goal in doing this? That may help us refer you to some modifications.

I believe that is the rear trailing arm.

I think so it moving it will alow a lowered car to squat more but no one seems to know anything about it
