You could set your static camber at -1.5
This will get the tire flat when cornering and you have enough roll.
However, you'll wear tires more quickly than if it were set at -0.5
Since this is primarily a street car I would keep static low to save the tires (we don't care as we track our cars so often we wear out the tires before they wear unevenly).
So not you have to keep a low static, but you still want more camber gain to keep the tire flat in roll. This is where you need better geometry. . .hence the tall spindle.

Thanks for your imput.
This is where my car sit up front as of now...
I want to go at least 2" lower. I want the front stance to be where the One Lap Camaro is at, so I'd say it's as low as you want to go on the street if not too low...I'm not worried about speed bumps.
I'm aware of the tire wear but the car is a weekend car so I'm no too worried about it and I'll rotate them from time to time.
Looks like the tall drops are a good idea since I'll be able to have minimal negative static camber but better geometry under hard compression.
