Default Ride Height question?

I have boxed subframes from BMR. Would G2 springs and bilstein HDs give me adequate ground clearance or should I try another combo?

Anyone have any real world experience with this?

Changing the shocks alone will not make a dramatic difference in ride height.

how do you like those adjustable koni's? what kind of springs did you get with the kit (drag, autox, street) and how do they ride down the road?

I have the box BMRs and Eibach Sportlines. I drag the SFCs occasionally but that's the way I planned it. The SFCs are the lowest thing on the car, so I don't worry so much about speed bumps or steep breakovers I can't avoid. I'd rather drag the SFCs than say the trans pan, converter, or exhaust.
Here are a couple of pictures with the springs and SFCs installed:
