Rear Spring Plate Replacement?

[Flojo]

Hello!
Is there an OEM-fit rear spring plate replacement?

You often find complete kits with arms, bushings an plate, but I never see for eg. a cnc cut alloy replacement only.

Does such exist (plug&play style) ?

something like this (as seen here), without the need of special fit bushings:

Check with your dealer. Five or so years ago I replaced mine with brand new factory parts. Don't be in a rush to get them. and expect them to cost a lot. The parts were back ordered for about six months. As I recall, they were about $1,200 a pair.

you talk about the OEM plates?
if yes, well mine are OK and I did blast and powder coated them.
but I like the idea that these cnc-cut aloy plates are stiffer and I like the look of them,

[Flojo]

no one an idea/a hint?

I have never seen the spring plate cover stiffness called into question when used with OE-style rubber spring plate bushings.

You'd rather have springy spring plates. They are made that way on purpose. There is an amount of flex in the body shell as well. I'd rather take the old ones, and replate them if you want bling. Rebush them and re-install if all you are after is a mechanical refresh.

I think he means the spring plate covers, not the spring plates themselves.

Yes, exactly; sorry for the confusion.

So there is no other cover that fits over OEM bushings?

Other than this one? -

Are you just looking for bling (not that there is anything wrong with that)? Nothing wrong with the OEM, we use them on our full race cars with Polybronze w/o issue.

well, yes... mor the alu-style like in the first picture.
