In short, no. IMHO Mini Sport's own brand aren't very qood quality cams. They wear out really fast and they don't seem to be too fussy about the quality of core they use for re-grinding either.

Swift Tune.
You only need new springs if the ones you currently have are either worn out or no good for the spec of the engine you are putting together. You should fit new followers though but these aren't expensive. Get some of the better ones from Mini Spares that hold the bottom of the push rod more securely.
