My concern is the shock might be underdamped causing bottoming out/tire scrubbing during hard cornering.
If you're talking about the Vogtland sport springs, I don't know, the drop is almost the same as the H&R sport springs. Mine dosen't bottom out or scrub at all, and I'm running 25mm spacers at the front and 20mm rear. I did a couple of track days in 2020 and I had no problems with rubbing at all. Here's a couple of pictures so you have an idea of how low mine is.

Wow that fitment is perfect. Not too low, but the wheels fill out the wheelwells perfectly.

A+ set up.

Thank you and it handles amazing
Those are 17 inch wheels, I can still get half a finger between the fender and the tire.
I don`t know if 18 inch wheels would look as good.
