Lightbulb Koni Yellows on lowest 'perch' with 18's, any problems?

Been searching and haven't got much. Is there anyone running Koni Yellows with Eibach Prokits on the lowest spring perches with any problems? Rubbing/bottoming out etc?

From my searches most people said: middle front, lowest rear. But I wanted to see if I can place them both on lowest on 18" wheels? Advisable? Doable?
I've yet to install it but I'd like to get it right on the very first try. This will mainly be a sunny day/weekend car with the very occasional auto-x/track.

To paint a better picture, I'll be running:

BBS RG-R (Diamond black )
18x8.5 ET22 Front
225/40/18F

18x10 ET28 Rear
255/35/18R

Thoughts?

Top or Middle perch. Eibachs lower quite a bit up front. You may even want them at the top. Might want to search for old posts.

However, with that offset, you'll probably rub regardless.

Lowest is too low for NYC roads. BTDT...

Lowest with RSR down springs and 17x9 wheels rubbed pretty bad for me. It wasn't the fender or suspension, they rubbed on the fender liner.
