Adjustable Spring Plate, IRS Suspension (Thing / Type 181)

The EMPI Adjustable IRS Spring Plates are a high-performance suspension upgrade specifically designed for the 1973-1974 VW Thing (Type 181) and custom off-road applications. Featuring a 4 1/4" collar matched for 24 11/16” torsion bars, these plates allow you to fine-tune your rear ride height by approximately 2" to 3" without the need for the tedious process of re-indexing the torsion bar splines.

Built from heavy-duty steel with a durable painted finish, these plates solve the common issue of "driver's side sag" by allowing independent side-to-side leveling. They are also a staple for Baja Bug and Sand Rail builders who have swapped to the 24 11/16" medium-length bars for improved suspension travel and damping characteristics.

 

Key Specifications:

  • Compatibility: Fits 1973–1974 VW Thing (Type 181) and custom IRS builds using 24 11/16" bars.

     

  • Collar Size: 4 1/4" extension.

     

  • Adjustment: Single-bolt external adjustment for precise height leveling.

  • Finish: Durable gloss black paint for corrosion resistance.

Not linen
These aren’t linen, these are microfiber shorts. Fabric feels very cheap.

True To Size
These shorts fit true to size and are so comfortable. They have a drawstring waist, so you can adjust them for the best fit and wide legs. They are 55% linen and 45% cotton so they keep you feeling cool. The classic colors go with nearly any other colors or designs, making them stretch your wardrobe potential and saving you money. They were extremely wrinkled upon arrival, so I used my fabric steamer, and within 5 min they looked perfect. I love these shorts and wear them all the time!

Cute 2-pack pair of shorts
Color: Black, White, Size: Medium, Color: Black, White, Size: Medium
Cute shorts that have pockets and fit true to size. I love that they come in a pack of two as well. The black ones are my favorite and I feel like the fabric is a little softer on the black pair. The white ones are a little thinner than I would like. I was wearing an olive green colored underwear underneath them in the pictures in my review and though you can’t see them much, I do feel like they were slightly visible. The white pair also had a lot of loose strings on them which made me think the quality might not be as good as with the black pair. They washed easily and I hung them up to dry them because they smelled kind of funny when they arrived.

Good value for 2 shorts
These come vacuum sealed and have crazy wrinkles... so be prepared to do some ironing. I ordered the Mediums as I am a 6-8. The black pair feels a bit smaller than the beige pair... with both feeling tighter than I like for comfort. The look nice on, but feel like it constricts my belly a bit too much. Overall a nice basic set of shorts, perhaps size up for a more comfortable fit.
