RCE, what do you think I should do... Lowering camber plates, shortening the bump stop, or both?

I wouldn't freak out about modifying the bumpstops. I did it on my own personal Mini Cooper with custom valved Bilstein fixed perch shocks. Not a huge deal but yes totally intimidating at first. I have not done it on their coilovers. I cut off a little of the soft and stiff section on my shocks. I don't know how long they are on your shocks but a little will go a long way.
That said, the RCE lowering camber plates would certainly make life easier (hey...TIC has some in stock right now!) but yeah that's not cheap.
I will say this...and it's not sales pitch I promise. The 400 lbs/inch custom valved Bilstein shocks I just rode on in a beast-mode supercharged BRZ were very comfortable. Baltimore City daily driveable. Exceeded my expectations. That car kicked ass and had a decent drop (30mm -ish). The firm spring rates help with the limited travel, but the valving has to work with the rates. My point is that the potential is there for a good all around set-up. It sounds like you're very close.
