If you mean you are going to remove the rear struts, replace the springs, and reinstall, you can do it. I used that same guide. Roughest part for me was getting the LCA ball joint ends off, but I did it So you can too

If you are going to replace the springs anyway, just remove and install them while the struts are in the car...it may seem daunting, but it's 10 times easier than removing everything else.

You are looking at an alignment anyway due to the lowered springs, so I guess you could disconnect the toe arm and the LCA at the body side (where the eccentric bolts are) and not fool with the ball joint end at all I was replacing my LCA anyway so I had to remove the ball end...
