Yes they do. The set comes with the spring & shock to the front and shocks to the back. Rear height will be adjusted with their adjustable height sensor provided with the suspension. You can check the rest from the link...

I wonder how much it lowers our M-Sport E61 cars.

I wouldn't try it without the correct tools and a lift. Hell, even with the correct tools, I wouldn't try it.
Take some DIY pics when you do the install and then post them along with your impressions of the KW set.

When we installed the set, it looked like this whit 225/35 19 wheels.
It could been adjusted even lower, but....
Maybe whit 225/35 18 you could drive it, when its as low as it gets...
