you do not need anything else. you can just get the springs unless you opt for high spring rates, which you will need shocks as well or else the ride will suck. i suggest you get an alignment as well after the drop and that will help keep your tires lasting.

check the springs, springs, springs thread. Lots of useful information there such as spring rates and drop rates. (how much they'll lower your car)

19ft. wheels? those are huge, you might need to roll your fenders and get a lift kit.

You don't need to lower it with 19"
Put htem on and check out the clearance.

You will see what I mean.
