Looking at Coilovers

So I'm looking at coilovers. My initial idea was Stance's since they go the lowest, now I'm not sure.

If I got the Stance GR+'s and took all the rings out and maxed them out as low as possible... would I rub on a 225/40/18 tire with no spacers?

I was also looking at Ksport's.

Ksport's can be around $1,000 even while Stance's are around $1,200-$1,300 (new, obviously).

Which would be my better option to go as low as possible without rubbing?

you've seen my car on the Megan's and any lower and i'm sure my axles would be destroyed, and it would be worse for you since you're auto. honestly wait for 1 of these meets coming up in Feb. and i'll take you for a ride. i have 2 buddies on Ksport as well and their cars are so much more bouncy than mine, and being that the rear shocks aren't adjustable you can't really pre-load them correctly.

I had mine in the fronts on the 3 rings with 235s and rubbed. You should be fine with 225s. I havent got to dial mine in but im around 1 finger gap all around and no rubbing now on 235s with my stance coils and stock wheels.

i'm 3.5" lower than stock and could go another .5" with lock rings out. and like i said dude your axles will not like you for being auto, and so far nobody makes any solutions like rotated mounts for auto's. right now with my snow tires i have probably 1-1.5 finger gap in front and probably 2 rear. depending how it goes when i start with this new job i'm actually considering raising the coils up too if i don't get rotated mounts right away
