i cant be certain but i would say no as if they were it would be common knowledge on this forum if you wish to lower the rear then just cut 1 coil off the originals it works well enough and costs nothing.

Who told you that  There must be loads of cars in the UK alone that have cut down springs although after some experimentation I found that removing about three quarters of a coil gave a good result  [-/

my car has never failed its mot and is taken to a non friendly garage who like prodding and poking around and use a double inspection method  (that being two pedantic old gits ). if you find they sit loose then wire them in.
