If you don't want the uniball suspension then I assume you will still retain the torsion bars? In which case you will need to decide what spring rate you are going to use on the coilovers. It would not surprise me that you will only need a very light sping, if any at all.
The cause of concern with rear coilovers is that the top mount has not been designed to accept a spring load it being just a 12mm cantilever long bolt on the end of a forged arm that is weak in the lateral direction, hence the suggestion to use a Cup brace. However, I would guess that light loads say 50-100lb/in would not stress the fixing too much.
Why do you want to fit a rear coilover?
