Change Leaf spring to coil spring?

Hi all,
As listed below, would I be able to change a Leaf spring to a coil spring or a torsion bar to a coil spring? Or even a torsion bar to a leaf spring? ie: Change the springing system? And that would mean changing the mounting points for the suspension. Not for class 7a or 8.

".4 Springs and shock absorbers – Additional to MSA Regulation M6.6.
This ACTC Regulation will be incorporated into MSA M 6.6 from 1st January 2006

Springs and shock absorbers may be changed and additional springs and shock absorbers may be fitted. Anti tramp bars, anti roll bars, Panhard rods and Watt linkages are permitted. Except for classes 7a and 8 the original springing system and spring mounting points must be retained in operational use, e.g. leaf spring systems must retain at least the minimum number of leaves specified by the manufacturer and must not be replaced by coil or other springing systems."

Open car driving in the rain

I need to wear specs for driving, but find that in the rain driving an open car with aeroscreens that vision, especially at night is at best limited if not dangerous.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
Putting goggles that are wet over wet specs doesn't work.
