Omega General Help / Rear springs elite and broken middle section exhaust studs

Elite 3.2
Got a broken rear spring and in the process of removing them I noticed an ident LA on each spring. Had a look through the forum and it looks like the LA identifer is a mystery that VX does not seem to have a part no for. Before I started removing them I thought the ident would be long gone so ordered a set of KYB that I've seen mentioned on here. Are the KYBs ok for the elite now that I think on it.
Springs still look pretty good nick, well apart from the broken one, the coils are still relatively black with little rust.
One of the centre sections and the back box is toast so I removed them but the 4 bolts between cats and centre section have all snapped. I don't see any other way to remove the studs but remove the cats and to get more access, tried some heat and no joy.
To remove the each cat is it the 2 plugs for sensors and the 2 upper bolts to remove from manifold? Any other little sneaky things hiding waiting to take the skin off my knuckles?
Cheers
Andy
