Guides for concept system

I just got this very pretty Cobalt Blue SCIV blank from St Croix and am looking at guides. I think the American Tackle BBSF Black chrome guide with blue zirconia ring would look amazing on this blank. But are these guides with a low enough frame to use the Fuji concept system?? Especially on the smaller size 8 & 6 rings?

Actually, for the concept system, high frame guides are preferred for the first few guides, then fly guides that hug the blank are used near the tip. You can use lower frame guides in the butt area, but you will need to use a larger ring size to compensate.

The proper set up for spinning concept system is on the online library page here. It will walk you through it step by step and show you how to select the right guides for your rod and reel.
