Hi again

You'll need to adjust the length for the springs according to the ride height you are wanting, and as per my previous, will probably need to get the shock length shortened to make sure the springs are trapped when the suspension is unloaded (over a large bump etc) Otherwise they could drop off their mounts with potentially unpleasant consequences. (Also possible Police attention and being put off the road for an unsafely modified vehicle)

You'll need to balance the spring rates front to rear, so if you try the car out with just the fronts stiffened and standard rear springs don't be surprised if it understeers like a pig !
