Regarding camber plates: You want to get ones that don't rob you of much, if any, bump travel, *especially* if you are lowering the car.
I got Raceseng camber plates and Swift BRZ Sport lowering springs for my car soon after I bought it in order to do track days and compete in time trials. These camber plates do not raise the front of the car, if anything they might lower it. The Swift springs are advertised to lower the car 1.1" up front and 1" in back. With the camber plates my car was lowered 1.5" front and 1.25" in back.
The camber plates utilize a radial bearing to accommodate steering, which robs the front of ~12mm bump travel vs. stock. Combination of lowering and camber plates subtracted a whopping 2" of bump travel. Which meant the front was riding *hard* on the bump stops. Cutting the bump stops in half, and then to 1/3 original height helped the ride over potholes/bumps a bit, as did adding a 1/4" ring between front springs and spring perches to gain some much-needed bump travel. But the ride on the street was still pretty intolerable over the smallest bumps.
I'm going to look into other camber plates to see if any are available that:
1. do not raise the front end, and
2. do not take away bump travel.
Or I *might* modify the Raceseng spring perches to remove the radial bearing to provide more bump travel, letting the spherical bearing take the steering rotational degree of freedom. Probably not the best for spherical bearing wear...
My 0.02 on this, fwiw...
