Camber/Caster plate recommendation

Car- 88 trans am gta, all the front suspension stuff is getting replaced. I am using koni yellows with either the pro kit or sportlines. It looks like getting a part store replacement, w/lifetime warranty, isn't much cheaper than getting the founders plates. Car is going to be a daily driver. One thing I am concerned with when it comes to the founders is harshness and tons of road noise. With stock replacements I am worried about alignment problems. Some post say stock has enough adjustment some say no. What is the right part or part recommendation?

You wont see much road noise with the founders pieces or anyother of the available plates.

I'm pretty sure OE has enough adjustment but lowered vehicles do benefit from the raised strut mounts of founders, j&m products, UMI. They say it helps keep the struts from bottoming out from being lowered.

I bought J&M products which i now know were identical to founders. Founders has improved their product since then, so to me the choice is a no brainer.
