I have found 17HS8401 nema 17 stepper motors. Can they be used for Prusa i3?

Stepper motor 1.8A 5.2 kg force. 1.8 degree step

Phase current: 1.8A
Holding torque 0.52Nm (5.2kg.sm)
Number of outputs 4

I am no sure about driver to choose.

Thank you for answering.

Here is a list of NEMA 17 morotrs from the reprap wiki. From what I'm seeing, it looks like those shold have more than enoug torque. You could use the pololu drivers with them, you'll just have to make sure they have heat sinks attached and have a good fan blowing on them as that 1.8 A will be close to the pololu's top of 2.0A. This would also put you in standard hardware that everyone elese is using.
