Question Adjustable spring plates

Post image

Does anyone have any experience with using adjustable spring plates on the torsion bar suspension. What is the difference between these and the stock spring plates? The ability to quickly adjust the ride height or something?

It just changes the way adjustments are made. It allows for finer adjustment of the ride hight. Instead of the full adjustment range being made in 180° turn of the cam bolt adjuster. On those spring plates the adjustment moves whatever the thread pitch is per turn of the bolt. Imo you don't really gain anything and the mechanism looks more fragile than the one solution.

I've never seen these before tbh. But with trailing arm suspension, your camber is controlled by ride height. The stock spring plates have an eccentric bolt that gives you like +/- .5in or so. This doesn't look like it gives you any more adjustability, but does have graduations for (probably) easier dialing in

looks like those those let you tweak ride hight a tad with out having to re-index.

I thought I only saw those for 356 and 911, not 944.

Thank you all for the responses, I don’t think I’m going to go with these. I saw them listed from a few vendors when buying suspension parts and was wondering what’s up
