I have gone through this before and what you need to do is take one of your shocks off an measure the colapsed length and then measure the extended length. Also, determine what type of top fastner will be required for the top of your shock (stud type or the type that requires a bolt to pass thru an heim joint or just a rubber bushing.

A good choice would be something like a HAL or Carrera and they are reasonably priced. I am guessing but you probably need something that extends between 14" compressed and 21" extended. Also, you will probably want a spring rate of about 250#-300#. You can softern this up with the adjustable dampner that is available on some models of coil overs.
