EMPI Adjustable Swing Axle Spring Plates — 4-1/4\" Collar, Pair | VW Beetle 1949–1959 (17-2670-0)

Adjustable Spring Plate, Swing Axle Suspension

These EMPI Adjustable Spring Plates are the high-performance evolution of the standard heavy-duty plate, specifically engineered for early Swing Axle Volkswagens. While standard plates require you to remove the entire assembly to change ride height, these units feature an integrated adjustment screw that allows for precision fine-tuning of your rear stance with a simple turn of a bolt.

Designed with a 4 1/4" collar for 24 11/16" torsion bars, these plates are ideal for early Beetle owners who want to perfectly level their car after a heavy engine swap or dial in the perfect "Cal-Look" rake. The two-piece design provides a much wider range of motion than factory plates, ensuring you can achieve the exact height you want without the trial-and-error of re-indexing splines.
