Default BC Coilovers slammed?

I'm looking into BC BR types which are OEM type. I spoke to BC and they recommend going with the 180mm springs with linear adapter in the rear. My question is has anyone ever really seen BC's slammed to the floor like Stance Gr+'s with this spec? I know they go low but anyone have more pics???

This is the only pic i could find that has a clear depiction on height. SICKNESS!

Frosty87- Thats a good point but i want the OEM type. Stance Gr+'s Oem type are sold out everywhere smh.

Kingbaby- lol. here are my specs.

19x9.5f +0 235/35/19

19x10.5r +0 255/35/19

Rolled fenders and SPC cambers. I have Eibach sportlines now and those are some bad azz springs but too much tire gap. I also have a Nismo V1 kit and theres alot of space to the floor

mrtoeknee's ride was/is ( if it still is) on BC's. his car was my main point on considering the BC coils being that his car was slammed and never really came across any complaints and as a few stance ppl were having some knocking noise issues.

how many inches can bc drop front and rear ? I'm looking to drop about 3 inthe rear and 2 up front so I'm wondering if I'll be ok with the stock set up or if I'll need to buy different springs for the rear ?
