Have fun, that's just about the perfect set-up short of going to coilovers.

Lookin' good. I thought those HSport camber plates were painted grey though. In your pics they are bare metal.

Do the camber plates take away a little of the drop, if so about how much? Not trying to hi-jack the thread but this is the exact set up that I want to end up with!

If you haven't had the Koni yellows on your car yet I think that you will really like them. I have had them on my car for a while now with H&R sport spring and really like them. The look is really nice also.

Do the OEM bumpstops need to be modified for this setup?

When lowering you will need to cut down the OEM bumpstops. Do the yellows have bumpstops or do you transfer the OEM?

You cut about 1/2" off the OEM bump stops and use those

This may be a stupid question that I should hunt to see if I can find the answer for easily, but I'm too lazy; So I'll ask --

What kind of metal, and what is it plated with? (your post just kinda piqued my curiosity)

Looks like bare Aluminum to me.
