Coilover springs don't need to be as big or as long as regular springs because the coilover perches are adjustable. If you raise the perch up, the car goes up.

^^^^ Exactly. They are made small to be stiffer because the more you lower the car the more stiff you want it to be so it dosen't bottom out all the time. Make sure you get good shocks too cause then you will have less of a chance of bottoming out. Were still yet to and were sitting 2.75 down in the front and 2.25 in the rear.
