Yes that's with OEM KYB shocks. Here's some pics of the rears..





And here's an old picture of OEM strut/springs, pretty cool how the air bags takes place of the coil spring.

What's holding it is that piece (bump) that's bigger on the strut body. Same thing as the front, there's the little section that's bigger in diameter.
