Most camber plates will work with the V3 shocks, just a matter of having the proper mount for the spring diameter.
HVT, Beatrush, Hotchkis, MSI, RCE Lowering, RCE Non-lowering, Ground Control, and upcoming Raceseng.

It is recommended to get one that does not raise the height or reduce the shock stroke. Ground Control has the most travel of the mounts available currently. I do not have personal experience with any of these, but am leaning towards the HVT offering. HVT has a good reputation and does not raise or lower the height.

Edit:
I currently have the KW V3 CS with KW top mounts and they allow for a good amount of travel. Can't exactly say between GC, KW, and HVT which retains the most travel.

The Ground Control plates are VERY nice, quality units. I've had mine on the car for a week and a half now, and I am also running the KW V3s. See the Ground Control thread for more info...
