Swings are the worst case scenario. The design of the IRS is more forgiving. |
I know that ! But I want to see if his plate for IRS does work .

A very long and interesting / funny topic 
Too bad that i got rid of springplates etc and changed to IRS with coilovers and uniball setup 
I'v got remmele setup to back, but i am making uniball setups for 944/bug steel arms.

Good lord! I hope you all realize that I just wasted your hard earned tax payers money reading this thread. What started as a quick look up on my break turned into an hr and a half of clicking "Next Page" so what's my final conclusion you may ask ---->>>  I think this debate should have been settled around page 10 with a little old school fisticuffs or a knife fight! Interesting read though, I will say that. |

Adam, it's been awhile we wanted to see a video of your plates with irs but until now you cant provide it. I'm not bashing your product in fact I like the quality of it and your passion but I really wanted to see the Irs plate doing in action before I buy. Thanks!

so I started reading his thread looking for my answer but with all the whining back and forth I gave up
so what I want to know is there anyone making a good plate to raise the rear of a irs car without re indexing the spring plates?
I am making somewhat of a class 11 car and want to raise the rear to the level of the thing spindles on the front

| kind of a moot point. Once you remove the spring plates and put on different ones you will need to re-index them anyway...... so you'll just have to learn how. |

I know how to re index them and that was not the question I asked
I was asking about if someone was making either a raise springplate or ideally a plate that I can use inbetween the springplate and trailing arm to raise it without turning the springplate so I can keep the stock ride

no, the limitations are the shocks and CV joints, different spring plates would not change either. |

I know all of this and yet again you are not answering my original question which is
is there someone making drop/raise spring plates for irs and/or making a plate that will go between the springplate and trailing arm to raise or lower?
this is the ONLY thing I want to know I already know about the other issues with raising this car and already have a plan for that part

I am not whining I just wanted my original question answered maybe my first post wasn't clear
it seems that everytime I have post a question in this section there are more people that reply with bs then helpfulness
I don't get this anywhere else on this site but in this section
