Sounds like a decent street setup. I have something similar on my car, except i use KYB's (which really do suck), but it handles very nice! although with the tophats and the FM springs the car sits a bit low. about 12.25" all around.
i also vote for saving up for 6UL's. i have those with 205 RS2 rubber. i have no clearence issues, but i suspect with 225's it would be a tight fit with that setup. Ive thought about picking up a set of spaces but im too lazy to pull the suspension again just to add spacers...

For the most part it's pretty predictable, a slight predisposition towards understeer, shifting towards neutrality when cornering with steady throttle.
Camber is -1° front, -1.5° rear. Toe is zero front, 1/16" in rear. I probably could stand a bit more negative camber all 'round.

I'd start with the rears to -2° the fronts at -1.5° or so. More negative camber up front will offset understeer, so if it understeers too much, put in more negative front camber, not less. Some folks even run equal camber front / rear.

so... what spacers to run on heliums?
15x6.5 +30 konig heliums...
i was thinking 15mm spacer to get +15mm offset and just roll my fenders + run 1.5 degrees front and 2 degrees rear camber

my friend just drove into a curb at about 80mph on his rx8 and his 20" sportmax wheels smashed into about 3,000 little pieces. lip from one of the rims was about 150ft from the car. i dont think anything like that should happen...
