So I figured out I need:
80mm long Helper springs. Says fully compressed they are 30mm
7 inch springs
Bc racing bucket adapter
Since my sprigs are 11.22 inches long with the 7 inches and 3.1 inch helper spring will make it about an inch lower in the rear. And then I can make it go lower by compressing the helper spring. It can go about 2 inches lower I figure if I compress the helper springs a little bit. But if that's not a good idea than should I go with a 6inch rear spring just to be safe.

For static height, the only measurement I would consider is the fully compressed height because that's where it will stay. -Until you lift the rear wheels off the ground, or in my case with no rear bar, turn the car.

Well if you think about what a helper spring does, it's actually closer to 10 inches at extension. Please try do more reading, to the point you understand what is going on.

And that's what I said in my reply as stated above....
Since my Bilstein springs are 11.22 inches. If I was to get the 7inch plus the 80mm helper than it would make the new rear set up about just an inch smaller than the bilsteins are. It I was also debating getting the 6 inch spring just for more height adjustability.

The helper spring goes fully compressed as soon as you put the car on the ground.
