adjustable spring plates have different size bushes[urethane] for them,and uprated torsion bars and coil overs is totally pointless,and maybe even dangerous
Good luck with it,telll Matt Hi
cheers richie,uk
hey buddy glad you dropped in - You know what Matt's like
He's brought LOADS of stuff and hasn't really thought if it all works together - I have been wondering about just how "stiff" this rearend would be
Basiclly there is a kinda reason for all these parts - firstly the coil overs came from the original car and as they cost soooo much he really wants to use them
now the Adjustable spring plates were brought a LONG time ago from Volkszone
now when I came to fit these to the original IRS torsion bars I soon realised they weren't gonna fit because these spring plates are designed to fit the medium length torsion bars from type3 (I think
) So Matt brought some from Swayaway and :-\And thats where we are now
I do try to put in my suggestion but he is the "customer"
there has been ALOT of little things along the way with the rest of the chassis work too - Like having to get the CB disc brake spindle machined because when you mounted the calipers they were offset to one side by almost 3mm
oh yeah there was also the problem of where to fit his MASSIVE external oil cooler - because of the 911 fan conversion there is NO cooler on the block sso it relies on a HUGE external cooler that WAS mounted between the torsion tube and the swing axle NOT ANY MORE with the IRS
so we've now gone over to twin coolers mounted either side at an angle over the torsion tubes, oh yeah then there is always the VW corrardo seat set up
Anyway let me know what you think DUDE
p.s check your PM
