Richard, those are factory adjustable spring plates on my car in the before pic. Problem with those, is that they require special wrenches, and the car needs to be raised in the air to adjust them. And since they are an eccentric, there is no direct correlation between the adjuster movement and the height change.

With the adjuster screw style on the SPS, you can change the ride height in the future without losing the corner balance, so long as you move both set screws the identical amount.


Yes, the inner splines are smaller diameter, so the bar slides right in after the fact. What's nice about this is, you can change out your torsion bars at the track very quickly. Mine are hollow, so I was able to stick my finger in the hole and pull it back out. But even with solid bars, you simply push one side in, and that pushes the other side out. Then when you push the new one in on that side, the other one can be pushed out.


You're right about re-indexing to get the adjuster screw in a normal range. It's important not to have it set too far out once it's finally set, or it could lead to problems as the spring plate flexes during suspension movements.
