Default Quick tire/suspension question

I picked up a set of rims with 235/40/18 for that extra bit of beef... now i wanna lower my ride without horrible amounts of rubbing

u think the h&r/bilstein combo would be ok?

I'm looking at that combo and not sure whether I should do the sport or race.
I plan on Autoxing but i dont want to have to roll my fenders etc.
(I can roll them if needed as I have a good hookup with a guy here who does good body work)

I droped mine with neuspeed 2" race springs and koni shocks, didn't have any tire rub but I did get rubbing from from the stock sway bar, so I changed them out with h&r swaybar kit and everything works good and handles really good.
