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.

Key Specifications:

  • Compatibility: Fits Type 1 (Beetle) models from 1949–1959 and Type 3 models from 1962–1967.

  • Suspension Type: Swing Axle only.

  • Collar Size: 4 1/4" (Fits 24 11/16" torsion bars).

  • Feature: Built-in height adjustment screw for precision leveling.

  • Quantity: Sold as a matched pair (Left and Right).

It doesn’t stay in
The pipe keeps coming out. Not worth the money. Not sturdy to hold a top table.

Good finish, poor hardware.
Set screws are poor quality and are sometimes powdercoated on the exposed threads. Leads to striped hex sockets and inability to tighten properly. Durable finish as evidenced by no visible damage after throwing parts across the shop in frustration. Ended up running self tapping screws thru parts to complete assembly.
