Default Lowering springs and rear callipers/brakes

Hi all, i have just had an mot fail and need to replace a rear calliper(And disk and pads) on one side, so was thinking about what simple bolt on upgrade there is. Can I just check, the d3 w12 is a straight upgrade-correct ? I am running 19 inch wheels...
Also have rust on springs so was thinking of some slightly firmer and a tad lower...any suggestions?
Any help appreciated.
