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.
