They will but it will lift the car about 2 inches.  If you properly cut the coils, the ride height will be similar and the springs will be stiffer than A1 springs.

By properly cutting, I mean either with a cold saw, or doing it with a cutoff wheel while the spring is in a bucket of water.  If they get heated up too much, they become useless.

changed mine out and it did indeed lift the front end about 2 inches.  a set of helper springs and some air shocks evened out the back though.  really helped the stance.  looks pissed all the time now.
