Question Need serious help with rear bilstein coilovers!!! Please Help!!

I bought a good amount of aftermarket parts off a local car recently and got them for near nothing but the biggest problem I have run into is the set of rear bilstein pss9 coilovers I bought. He did not have the matching front setup so I am wondering if there is any way I can just buy lowering springs for the front or something along those lines? Because I dont have the money to buy a new matching set for the front considering they are about 1000+ correct? Please help me out as soon as possible so I can get these on my car some how! Also how low will the bilstein pss9 coilovers lower the car in the rear? once I get the rear installed and a solution for the front will my stock rims and tires fit? or will i need to get new tires? I plan to get 18" wheels and tire set eventually but have to get the money up first.

i guess if you are trying to save money throw a cheaper brand of coilovers on the front of your car. as long as the spring rates are the same you should be ok.

I just now realized the rear setup I bought is bilstein f4-be3-2669 rear shocks with intrax 10-060 rear 242 springs. What intrax spring model would match the rear ones? I have done google searches for that model of spring and came back with nothing... also what bilstein or other brand shocks would work with those bilstein for the front? please help me I have hit a dead end and am worried I just wasted some money...
