Is it a good idea to wear sprint spikes when racing the 800? I land on my forefoot all the time anyway, and was thinking of getting the adidas prime finesse for this specific race. Will wearing this type of spike cause problems or will I br fine?

you will be fine.
sprint spikes are probably going to be uncomfortable if you are running slower than maybe 70% of your maximum speed. For an average college 800 runner sprint spikes should be fine. I would wear MD or distance spikes for your slower interval work though still.
