Lxxx may be a Part# from the manufacturer in which case it has no meaning for us. It may also be the free-spring (uncompressed) length of the spring. In this case I will have to compare them with the specs from the original NX springs and figure out what it means if we consider it with the spring rate.

The second number seems to be the spring rate for the springs.

139 lb/inch for the fronts, 124 lb/inch for the rear. If this is so it means that they are ~15% stiffer than stock, your struts willhave no problem at all with them and you should be looking out for bottoming!

If it bottoms you will feel it! At a modrate speed if you hit a bump you will feel it in your seat, a "thump"-like feeling. If you are turning and hit a bump, after the feeling on your seat you will feel the side of the car (front/rear) that bottomed moving to the outseide of the turn.
