I've never heard of a camber plate for a 4th gen. I know the third gens with the struts could benefit from a camber plate to move the top strut mount forward and back to optimize alignment. But since 4th gens don't have struts this doesn't apply.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

You can get an adjustable upper A-arm....
This company also makes a camber kit. http://www.drivewire.com/performance...amberkits.html
If you want to get rid of the body roll get bigger sway bars.John

You shouldn't need anything in the way of camber plates (they are for cars with "struts".... 4th Gens are unequal length A-arms), or adjustable upper A-arms in the front. I dropped the front end 1.8" and they had no trouble achieving the recommended alignment for lowered cars (-1deg camber, +4deg caster, 0.1 toe) with the stock adjustment range provided by the bolts and slotted holes on the front and rear of the lower A-arms. Some people prefer to add a bump-steer kit if you drop it more than 1.5".
The LCA relocations brackets would be a good addition for the back end.Fred

How serious do you want to go with the suspension? Drag or road race/autox?
Fred(Injuneer) will point you in the right direction for a good drag setup. There are a few others here that have that knowledge also.
A cheap road race/autox adjustable shock would be KYB AGX($400 a set). KYB is single adjustable. Koni is my pick. I have a set yet to be installed. Koni has single and double adjustable shocks. I got double adjustable shocks.
Springs....how stiff do you want the ride to be?? I know people that run up to 900# rates(racing only). He does not drive this car on the street. The higher the rate the stiffer the ride. Still trying to figure out what spring rate I want to use with my Koni's.

Here is the best consolidated information on springs I have ever seen for a 4th gen. You can compare the stock spring rate with a bunch of aftermarket springs to decide which is best for you. I'm going with the BMRs someday. That will be after I get the MP3 player for the car.

If you want a good ride quality with a good drop, go with Intrax springs.Originally posted by roastm

Better springs and shocks will definitely help to control the car under hard cornering and braking.
Lots of times people overlook the entire role of the torque arm. It serves 2 purposes...controlling the pinion of the rear end, and body control while braking. It sounds like you would benefit from a new torque arm mount and ideally a better and sronger torque arm.Comment
