Our stock setup is already a coilover in the front and a separate spring in the rear. Most of our aftermarket options do the same even if they're called a "coilover", they're not true coilovers in the rear, but obviously they are in the front.

There are a couple options out there that actually do convert the rear to true coilover. TBH I'm not sure on the tradeoffs, I'm not an expert (or even an amateur) at designing suspension geometry and loading, but I don't think it's without tradeoffs to do that. My default position is not to do that unless I get some solid info that everything will be ok with the conversion
