Adjustable Spring Plate, IRS Suspension (Thing / Type 181)

The EMPI Adjustable IRS Spring Plates are a high-performance suspension upgrade specifically designed for the 1973-1974 VW Thing (Type 181) and custom off-road applications. Featuring a 4 1/4" collar matched for 24 11/16” torsion bars, these plates allow you to fine-tune your rear ride height by approximately 2" to 3" without the need for the tedious process of re-indexing the torsion bar splines.

Built from heavy-duty steel with a durable painted finish, these plates solve the common issue of "driver's side sag" by allowing independent side-to-side leveling. They are also a staple for Baja Bug and Sand Rail builders who have swapped to the 24 11/16" medium-length bars for improved suspension travel and damping characteristics.

 

Key Specifications:

  • Compatibility: Fits 1973–1974 VW Thing (Type 181) and custom IRS builds using 24 11/16" bars.

     

  • Collar Size: 4 1/4" extension.

     

  • Adjustment: Single-bolt external adjustment for precise height leveling.

  • Finish: Durable gloss black paint for corrosion resistance.

     

  • Quantity: Sold as a matched pair (Left and Right).

This room divider is perfect. It is sturdy and looks high quality. No assembly required. Easy to move and is quite large and exactly what I needed for privacy when guests stay over.

Pretty

It’s well-made and pretty, but you can see right through it. Light comes right through it.. We wanted to use it to block light.

I was looking for something that wasn’t your basic Japanese style black and white cardboard room divider and this checked all my boxes. It looks very nice and stands out without being obnoxious.
