EMPI Adjustable Swing Axle Spring Plates — 6-1/8" Collar, Off-Road, Pair | VW 26-9/16" Bar (17-2671-0)

EMPI Adjustable Swing Axle Spring Plates — 6-1/8" Collar, Off-Road (Pair)

These EMPI Adjustable Spring Plates are engineered for high-performance and off-road Swing Axle applications. Unlike standard-length plates, these units feature an extended 6 1/8" collar specifically designed to accommodate long 26 9/16" torsion bars — a common requirement for custom off-road builds, sand rails, and woods buggies where increased suspension travel and fine-tuned ride height are critical.

The integrated adjustment screw allows precise leveling and height changes without disassembling the rear suspension or re-indexing the torsion bars, making them an essential upgrade for builders dialing in suspension geometry for varying terrain or load.
