SPRING PLATES, IRS

Precision Engineering for Late-Model Chassis Our inventory features configurations optimized for the specific technical requirements of IRS-equipped vehicles:

• Heavy-Duty and Double-Plate Designs: For high-performance street cars and rugged off-road buggies, we offer "double-plated" spring plates. These units feature two layers of high-tensile steel for maximum rigidity, preventing the flexing and bending that can occur under high torque or rough terrain impacts.

• Torsion Bar Compatibility: Selecting the right plate is dependent on your torsion bar length. We stock spring plates designed for both the standard 21-3/4" and the longer 26-9/16" torsion bars, ensuring that your suspension preload and travel are perfectly calibrated to your chassis.

• Direct-Fit Restoration: Our plates are manufactured to original equipment specifications for the 1969-and-later Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Type 2 Bus. They provide a seamless installation with your factory torsion housing and diagonal arm bushings.

• Essential Suspension Tuning: Beyond simple replacement, we carry the necessary urethane or rubber bushings and cover spacers required to eliminate excess play in your rear end, resulting in sharper cornering and a more predictable driving experience.

A Foundation for Better Handling Worn spring plates often lead to "clunking" sounds and a wandering rear end, which can be dangerous at highway speeds. By upgrading to our high-quality IRS plates from trusted brands like EMPI and Sway-A-Way, you are investing in a more stable and safe vehicle. These components are finished with durable coatings to resist the corrosion and road salt that typically destroy original chassis parts.
