shocks are sold normally by the axle, so yea, you can buy just the rears (i recco. KYB for an OEM-esque ride)

springs are best found thru either a junkyard or another member.

if using the factory wheel/tire size, the rear suspension height from the ground to the center of the #2 control arm should be 9.35" (237.5mm)
