Just wondering about non-adjustable spring plates

[tdskip]

Are used original non-adjustable spring plates worth anything? I hate throwing things away. The bushings do need to be replaced. Not trying to pimp it here, just curious.

No idea on the worth..... but don't ding them.

Might be worth some $$ to someone who is doing a full /concours restoration. I hope so..I have a used pair of non adjustable spring plates for a 71 911S in my garage . Good condition. Just need new bushings

They are better then the adjustable ones for people switching to coil overs as they are lighter and you don't have to worry about setting the ride height adjusters the same.

That said, I know of 3 pairs that are available with Elephant Racing Poly Bronze bushings already installed as we all went to ERP 935 spring plates this year so I would imagine the market is quite flooded at the moment.

If they are original to your car and have no issues I would keep them. If for some reason you ever had to resell the car the would be a nice thing to pass along with it. But that being said I agree that people looking for a full concourse restoration may want them. I look at these cars this way, you can be some one that cares a whole lot about keeping the car super original and deal with the issues it came with, or you can be some one that wants to keep the general form of the car but modify it so fix common problems. I almost would not call this a modification as its something Porsche designed any way.
