   Set the two outside corners nailed/plumb and level and string a chalkline and cuts the studs to the line. No plywood/grout/shims or anything else.

   If you are framing walls, then follow Joe's advice.  I've got pictures here to show how its done http://picasaweb.google.com/TimothyUhler/Lot36Muirkirk

   If you are framing a floor on top of the stemwalls, then you can use Quikrete.  I'd just clamp material to both sides of the foundation level with your string, and then pour the Quikrete and you are good to go.

   yes, that high strength non shrink grout works good for this, if you want you can add some steel shims for the wall, like we do with red iron, but its not needed.

   I've "fixed" many like this using steel shims under each beam (and stud/joist).
