He states that his camber is set to -1.3 to accomodate the wheels...

When I mounted the Z track wheels I had coupe springs and it was too tall for my taste. Fender gap was still huge and the rear wheels stuck out too much b/c of the offset (+33). After the drop, the wheels tucked in a little more and after going to align my car to -1.3 rear camber, the rear wheels are now flush with the fender.
So my suggestion is to go with a set of 2004.5 shocks/springs (make sure you check the part#s). The ride is a bit harsher, but it now the car feels like it is riding on rails. Its actually scary now how the car loves to turn no matter how fast you're going.

I really don't want to take the car any lower because I don't want to be eating tires or having to buy $400 A-arms just to correct the camber problems.

got the same wheels recently, but running 245/45s all around.......looks are subjective, I like the sleeper look....i had the coupe 18s and imo, looked pretty cool......however, a bonus with track wheels are that they are 18.1lbs front and 18.6lbs rear......can you say UNSPRUNG weight?! the coupe 18s were 25lbs.........i can feel car the accel/decel much quicker......to answer that question...it's by Rays engineering...the ones that makes Volks......if i've known the weight of rims earlier, i would've gotten them first over the headers, y-pipe or crank pulley.....peace.
