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?

You can order any spring rate you'd like. I have 1,000 in lbs on my car. Ground Control will sell you anything you need. It is a kit. I think the front and rear was in the mid $400 range, but I forget exactly (it's been a while and I've purchased a few sets of those over the years).

Yes, you can adjust them from below. You need to jack the car some to take weight off of them and then use a breaker bar. It's not easy, but it can be done.

My car has fresh poly bushings in it, so I didn't get the del-a-lum's installed. I have them in the box in the garage right now, but I'll probably deal with them next year or so. I may as well wear out the poly stuff first.
