I wouldn't bother. RRO doesn't have the best reputation and from memory their bigger kits use YJ wrangler springs in a SPOA application. you can get YJ springs from OME here in Vic but the end result will be a car that's at least 4" too tall for Vic IMHO.
The best suzuki springs anywhere are OME.

You can use the YJ kit in SPUA form, it's just that the yanks always run SPOA and fit massive tyres cause they can get away with it legally.
You locktup can supply it for you too.

US sourced coil systems will be difficult to engineer for road use in Victoria, and as they add of air amount of lift, the car might attract attention that would see it very difficult to get back on the road.
I wouldn't bother.

I don't think there's anything especially wrong with it but this stuff will take lots of work with an engineer to make legal in Australia.
Bear in mind that in Vic, engineers are working to the NCOP - that means 150mm of total lift. That includes BL, tyres and springs.
This kit adds 6"- 8" by itself.
There'll be a bit more work than it looks like too - the front panhard rod will need to be swapped to the other side to avoid killer bumpsteer, as an example.
