Upgrading Ohlins Springs after the fact

I'm getting a set of DFVs that have the Ohlins 10k/10k springs on them. I plan to autocross them and would like to upgrade to Swift 12k in the front, but i'm struggling to find the correct part number. I believe it's 65MM ID, but i can't find a specific length. Is it 8-inches using Z65-203-120 or a different number?

Anything else I should be concerned with besides just swapping the fronts?

Did you already buy the ohlins? I have a BNIB set that I’m looking to sell for cheaper than retail... PM if interested.

2.5" or 65mm ID. 8" (200mm)will work great. Anywhere from 7-10" should work. The fronts have tons of room for adjustment.

Why not Eibachs? They're cheaper/easier to get.
