First question you should ask is if those Dampers will be able to handle those spring rates.?.
As far as spring length goes, I believe 8" is the usual.

Are the coilovers separate preload and height adjustment? Did you get a good deal on them?

Currently they are front 9k/ and Rear 6K. 5 way adjustable and height adjustable. I got them for a good price. Do you know if cusco Zero1 can handle 12K/8K???

most coilovers you can go -/+ 2kg from the standard rates they give you.

But for sure call Cusco to confirm, ask for Stephen he can get you taken care of!
