1) Are new adjustable spring plates worth the price or do the stock '88 plates have some level of adaptability? Elephant's "quickchange" plates are only listed through '86 models, perhaps indicating '87 and '88 are OK? Also re-using old plates may lead to investment in bushing removal/installation tools (e.g. Elephant).

I can't help you with much other than to tell you that I believe spring plates/torsion bar covers for G50s are different than others due to the torsion bars sticking out a lot farther than on 915 transmission cars. That is most likely why the quickchange plates aren't listed for your car. There is some adjustment on your factory spring plates but not much, I forget the number. I think it's in my bentley. As soon as you run out of adjustment you have to reindex. I think there may be other manufacturers that makes some for your car.
I recently removed my old bushings. I didn't have the tool from Elephant. It wasn't hard to do. Just wear a quality respirator so you don't have to inhalethe rubber fumes.
