VW Spring Plate Cover Spacer Kit | VW Beetle IRS/Super Beetle | 5mm Laser-Cut Steel (00-9586-0)

VW Spring Plate Cover Spacer Kit – 5mm Laser-Cut Steel (00-9586-0)

Solve clearance issues on your custom rear suspension with the EMPI 5mm Spring Plate Cover Spacer Kit. Engineered for use with EMPI's line of adjustable spring plates, these spacers add 5mm of "breathing room" between the adjustable plate and the outer cover, so the suspension can move through its full range of travel without binding or metal-on-metal contact.

Designed with CAD software and laser-cut from 1018 steel, the spacers match the factory torsion housing footprint for an exact fit. A durable black coating resists corrosion and blends into a "nothing to hide" chassis build — whether you run a slammed street car or a high-travel off-road setup.
