No, you don't have to remove the rear from the car. The only thing you have to unhook is the shocks, and if you have short lowering springs sometimes you don't even have to do that. Just support the car so the rear axle can droop as low as possible, and unhook the shocks. You should be able to lift the springs right out at this point.
Like he said... Just unbolt the bottom of the shock to get the rear low enough. Then you can get the springs out. You will have to go to the store and get some heater hose to go on the spring so it doesnt rattle.

You only need enough to cover the top coil that will be seated. I think 2 feet will be more than enough to do both, it's cheap stuff anyways.
