They seem pretty nice, seems that website is a tad high on pricing though. I would maybe swap the front and rear springs around or maybe get stiffer rear springs. Ideally to keep the correct motion ratio of the suspension you want the rear stiffer than the front or else you will be prone to understeer. If you aren't going to track much though I wouldn't worry about it.

Here is a rough translation of the description on the SilkRoad website. This is not 100% accurate. Do not cry if your kit is a little different.
I'm betting it's backwards. I highly doubt anyone would sell coilovers with spring rates like that

All japanese coilover are sold like that because they are meant for their smooth roads. That doesn't translate into good handling though...
