Negative.

We're referring to the torsion bars/springs/rods that hold up the TRUNK LID on 'coupes'.

One end of each rod is attached to a little hole in the "hinge" to which the trunk lid is bolted. The rod then travels across the trunk compartment below the package tray (while sort of twisted around the *other* rod) and attaches to a 3 or 4 position bracket at the other end of the trunk.

Once you hold them up in there and stare at it for a while, you'll see how they go.
