yeh no springs needed for the rear mate, and depending on how low you are going you wont need any new shocks or the rear either just the torsion bar adjusting

unless you find a full rear beam that has been lowered aready but that bit extreme way to go imo.
this guy will do it if its not too far for you to travel. ... 206info.co.uk/Your_Acc...e=857.html stafford i think it is.
