Hi, folks, haven't been by in a long while.  Reading this thread reminds
me of the old tor$en days on the qlist!
 
Two things to mention--
-Be prepared to carve the shock towers a bit when using the ECS camber
plates.  Not a big deal, but not necessarily PNP, depending on how much
you lower the front.
-If you just want the car to look more even, could you raise the rears a
tad along w/ using shorter damping rings on the front?  You might get
3/4" total change in rake by doing F and R this way before getting out
of hand.  The rear perches ride on the shocks.  W/ Bilsteins it's common
to move the split ring that the perch sits on and it would be trivial to
add a sleeve to raise them, but I don't recall the stock setup.  You
would lose a little rear suspension travel in rebound.
