If the springs are not captured when the car is wheel is off the ground then you will need shorter shocks, but most lowering springs are made to work with the factory shocks & be captured.

My only advice would b watch out when removing the spring, if you slip and the spring jumps out you could be in some major pain. Most wheel places like bob jane will change the struts/springs over for about $60 and they have devices which lessen the danger and work that is needed.
