				I am beginning the re-assembly process for my 91 Z28 street/track car. I am swapping in a LS1 t-56 so I have already bought Spohn's tubular K-member. During disassembly, I had to "Massage" the stock camber plates, so I was going to get some new aftermarket ones for the additional camber adjustment. So that leads to the question. with new top strut mounts costing ~$250 and Spohn's coil over kit at $545, is there a benefit to spending the additional money?

				Coil overs on a 3rd gen cut into tire space.  Since 3rd gens are somewhat tire space limited (at least compared to 4th gens), I personally don't think it is a great idea.  Weight jackers with the spring in the factory location seem like the hot setup.
