Drilling and tapping a hole for a zerk fitting puts a stress point in the suspension linkage that makes it weaker. Whether or not the design is strong enough to handle that I don't know, but I'm just bringing it up.
BTW, cutting coils out of a spring makes it stiffer. When a spring is compressed the coils are actually being twisted. It is the same as if you could uncoil the spring back into a straight rod, clamping one end in a vise, and then grabbing the free end with big-ass pliers and twisting the rod. The longer the rod is, the easier it is to twist, the shorter the rod is, the harder it is to twist. So cutting out a coil on the spring makes it stiffer.
