   Yes thats all you need to have the front lowered but, the torsion bar at the back needs lowering to match the front.
   
   Insurance does need to know, like with any modification from standard.

   Means if you have an accident your insurance is void and you wont be covered.

   you dont buy the torsion arm you have to adjust to the height you want! best to get someone who knows what they are doing to do the torsion arm bud!

    ideally you should get a full lowering kit, which will include aftermarket dampers aswell as the springs!
