I have them to, but what did you do to get them fit. Put a ring behind it or did you grind the frame a bit.
If I remember correctly (did this 10 years ago) I did clearance the shock towers a little and shaved a little of the eccentric bolt. I also shortened the 2 bolts that lock the 2 plates together to clear the tires.
To adjust the height I made a special wrench that fits between the chassis and the spring plate. originally I used the 944 spring plate caps, but later switched to 181 caps. they look stock but beefier and clear the housing.

Nice,

Do you have some pictures mounting the adjustable springplates?

Regards eddie

I can post some pictures, but once you get the Porsche bushings off they fit exactly like stock vw's. they have the same overall dimensions. the benefit of Porsche spring plates over aftermarket ones is that you can't see they're adjustable, interesting in Belgium for MOT...  Grin
I have a second set on the shelve, I'll take pictures tonight.
