LWB Adjustable Spring Plate Experience
Searching for your with experience with either Rennline Adjustable Spring Plate kit or Elephant Racing Quick Change Spring Plate.
How well did these modifications work for adjusting ride height? Ease of adjustment? Unanticipated problems? Long term issues if any? Thank you in advance for any feedback! I am looking for an easier way to fine tune ride height after a total suspension rebuild. |

I ran across thus thread yesterday. I'm in the same boat in deciding QC S-plates and QC hollow TB's. I know they are spendy but reading the replies, might be worth it.
Hope it helps  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have the ER plates on my 68 912. I decided to install them because it is such a chore to dial the height in with non-adjustable plates. My car is set perfectly now so I don't mess with them much, but it's nice to know I can go a tad either way if the mood strikes me. Super simple adjustment.

I would say the Rennline plates are a very modest improvement over stock. They are nice and reasonably priced but they will not make raising and lowering easier from what I can tell. The little hash marks are a nice touch.
The ER parts would make ride height changes very quick and easy (relatively). For a cheap alternative for quick ride height have you looked at the sway away parts?

The SC and Carrera adjustable torsion arms work well enough I think.

Yeah - lots of places I would spend money before changing them....having quick ride height adjust would be nice though.
