I don't really DD my car since I walk to work, but I've basically done the same thing you're looking to do.

I did 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear (partly for looks), and to be quite honest, I should have gone with 17x9 all around so i could be in STX instead of STU. I'm running pilot super sports 225f/245r.

I lowered the car (also partly for looks) with Eibach Sportlines, around a 1.4inch drop. I didnt need camber bolts but i got them anyway since the rears ended up with crazy camber and i had to grab some LCAs to get it back into normal-ish spec. I would probably go with a little bit less aggressive drop like with the RCE yellows that everyone seems to love to avoid needing LCAs. But even at 1.4 inches I've never scraped the nose or bottomed out.

IMO the stock shocks can't really handle the sportlines, I'm probably going to pick up a set of coilovers over the winter. The sportlines didn't give me the drop i was looking for either despite being one of the biggest drops for springs.

I will say that the car handles like it's on rails, it grips so hard. I'd wager the tires alone made 80% of the difference but the sportlines hug the road pretty well. I have not touched the sways, nor do i have plans to, but the FRS is supposed to be more tail happy than the BRZ anyway.
