Default QA1 front spring question

Does anyone know what the length is of the front springs that come with the QA1 300# front coil-over kit? Is it 8, 12, 14 in...? I have a set and already ordered a set of 12 inch 300# hypercoil springs. Will these work okay, i'm looking to drop the car about an inch and a quarter. Thanks for any help.

The Hyperco spring are not going to work with the QA1's. The Qa1's use a spring that is the same diameter as stock at the top. The hyperco's are a 2 1/2 inch diameter tru coilover spring. The only one I know of that can is a specific Strange front coilover strut that has a top mount included. Unless you are planing on running a stock diameter spring with a set of our lower cups?
