What's included in the kit?

1968-71 Early Bay Window 2″ Dropped Adjustable Dropped Spring Plates

2" Adjustable Dropped Rear spring plates for T2 Bay Windows, compatible with models produced 1968-1971.

Each kit includes two adjustable spring plates and a pair of spacer plates to ensure the correct pinch on the rear, ensuring good lift / drop and smooth movement once desired ride height is set. These plates are simply adjusted using the easy access grub screw block fixed to the side of the spring plates – no need to completely disassemble the rear axle.

These spring plates are produced in house with our bespoke 48 spline broach to ensure precision fitment to your torsion bars. The broached sections are then CNC Robot welded to the spring plate sections to ensure a consistent and precise production. The plates are then pre-blasted and finished in a smooth Satin Black powder coat.

Designed to also correct tow-in problems on the rear of your vehicle as each spring plate features slotted driveshaft mounting holes allowing the rear to be laser aligned, this dramatically reduces tyre wear and the loose/ skatey feel to the rear end found on stock spring plates.

Details:

– 2″ drop and then adjustable approx 4″ either side
– Trackable dropped plates
– Stress relieving spacers included
– Produced by us here in the UK
– Hardwearing Satin Black powder coat finish.
