7"L - 2.5"ID - 8kg/mm 521-99-1020 $53.13
7"L - 2.5"ID - 10kg/mm 521-99-1030 $53.13
7"L - 2.5"ID - 18kg/mm 521-99-1040 $53.13 For off-road use only

You do realize you're going to have one hell of a bumpy ride. 8kg/is about 450 lb/in. Thats pretty damn stiff. And you're going to need a coilover shock to get the height some how matched to clear the wheels. (the stock front spring is about 12" and 6" in diameter.) Those springs are for if you're building a race car. They're non-progressive (so they'll be stiff and rough), and they're way too short.... do I need to go on?

Well if you dont know a lot about suspensions then its not a good idea to go piecing together a suspension of generic fit race parts. So stick to stuff designed for the car. Whether it be a set of full coilovers or Konis and Springs, get something matched to the car.
