When you take the old ones off...

Compare the heights of the spring perch of the OEM with the Koni FSD. Ie measure the distance from the centerline of the lower bolt to the surface on which the spring will rest.
Then you can decide how much spacer you want to add or if the upper perch is high enough, or whatnot. Saabsince93b and I seem to have had different experiences wrt the perch heights on konis vs OEM. I measured mine. You can check the archives with a search for gobs of info on this.
The amount you add in spacer/perch height is not simply the difference of where your ride height is now to where you want to be. Also note, that after assembly, drive the car over some speed bumps etc to let the assy settle before making any judgements on ride height or getting the alignment re-done. it will settle, probably a lot!
good luck!
