That's what they mean by "configuration". Changing from a transverse-leaf
setup to a coil-spring setup would be changing the configuration and is
therefore not allowed. Putting in a different transverse-leaf spring (with
the same length eye-to-eye if the spring also acts as a control arm) is not
changing the configuration, and is therefore allowed.
