Default rear coilover help

Hey, I recently bought a 03 350z and decided to put coilover on it, but the rear coilover failed the certification due to the guy not thinking this spot can hold all the weight of the car as the spring has been removed from the spring bucket and wants documented information saying it can withstand the weight, is there anything out there saying it's okay?

Lol who are you trying to sue.

Aren't you supposed to take out the spring bucket and install a delete arm? He wouldn't even know that it's missing.

if you haven't sold or tossed the original, just put the OEM spring back in the bucket

pass the certification, remove OEM spring
