AFAIK the 205 boss will fit any 300. it certainly fit's mk2/3. Approx. '83-91?

As for the springs, have a search on IMOC and see if anyone has fitted mk1 springs to a mk2 MR2?

I broke an MK2 MR2 earlyer this year but the only parts Ive got left are the seats which are in the 340. I dont know the MK1 MR2 as well but It is a completely different car. The MK2 has a 2l engine and is a good bit bigger and heaver, where that MK1 had a lighter 1.6. If the springs are cheap then Its worth the risk but I wouldn't expect them to fit.

I thought you had to be looking at about 20 all in, otherwise I would have mentioned the Custom springs avaliable from Dai. Well worth it.
