Default bilstein sp + spoon springs = good match?

anyone have this combination on their R? will the springs have problems fitting the shocks? I want to upgrade the stock suspension just a bit. car has 27k miles on it and am looking to replace the shocks soon with some bilstein sports. while I was at it, I thought I'd upgrade the spring rates a bit. don't want to lower the car, but every aftermarket spring manufacturer feels the need to offer shorter springs in their higher spring rates. the spoons offer the least drop with a good upgrade of rates.

car is used is used a a daily driver with fast, twisty mountain roads as half of the 54 mile commute. will also be doing some autocross later this year... maybe 2-3 times per year.

If you do the suspension now, swap the stock suspension back on when you start autocrossing. You'd be amazed at how well setup the car is in stock form.
