Change Torsion Bars and Adjust Ride Height

QuickChange spring plates make fast-work of torsion bar re-indexing and replacement.
Screw-type adjuster makes corner balancing and ride height adjustment a breeze. Pairs the high quality of the factory design with ease of servicing.

Setup is fast and easy
If you've ever re-indexed torsion bars to correct ride height, you can really appreciate the benefits of QuickChange.
Used in combination with our QuickChange Torsion Bars and Polybronze bearings, this spring plate allows rapid replacement or re-indexing of torsion bars.

• 5 minute torsion bar changes
• Fast and easy ride-height adjustment
• Accepts standard bushings

QuickChange Torsion Bar Changeout

QuickChange Torsion Bars can be extracted through the QuickChange Spring Plate without removing any bolts. Alignment settings are maintained. You don't even need to remove the wheel from the car. Changing torsion bars is a 5 minute per side operation!

Unlike other aftermarket spring plates, QuickChange Spring Plates bolt the plates together. This prevents the plates "halves" from sliding against each other and eliminates failures and metallic clicking noises common with competing products.
Can be used with any torsion bar and bushing that fits factory spring plates – not included – however QuickChange Torsion bars and PolyBronze Bearings are required to use torsion bar extraction features.

356 used two different systems of of spring plates, cover plate, bushings, and torsion bars

Pre-A, C and CS chassis:

Came equipped with 553mm long torsion bars. Cover plates have no center hole and a 4-nub style bushing. Spring plates have a short "tube" section that is not visible when installed because it does not pass through the cover plate. Outer bushings are larger 48mm Id and inner bushings have a smaller 45mm ID.

Polybronze may be used on these spring plates by fashioning a sleeve for the spring plate to increase its diameter to 48mm, and converting to a round bushing type coverplate.

Alternativley Elephant Racing Polybronze, QuickChange spring plates, and Torsion bars can be used on these cars provided all 4 components (torsion bars, cover plate, spring plate, bushings) are converted together.

A and B chassis:
Came quipped with 627mm long torsion bars. Cover plates have a hole in the center. Spring plates have a visible "tube" section that passes through the cover plate. Both inner and out bushings are larger ID about 48mm.

Elephant Racing Polybronze, QuickChange spring plates, and Torsion bars are all designed for direct fit with this combination.

Spring plate bearing kit

Want to experience precision driving, faster lap times, improved road feel and feedback?

Our patented PolyBronze suspension bearings set a new standard for performance, ride quality and ease-of-installation. Regular polyurethane/plastic suspension bushings are obsolete!

PolyBronze is a precision bronze bearing encased in a polyurethane jacket. The combination delivers a smooth-ride with the extreme performance of a metal bearing.

✔ No Squeaks
✔ Smooth ride quality
✔ Easy installation
✔ Integral Grease fittings and grooves

Why PolyBronze Bearings Are Superior To Plastic Bushings

Suspension mounts are coarse sheet metal pressings. They tend to be out-of-round and have irregularities that deform ordinary polyurethane bushings, pinching and binding the friction surface. Polyurethane is “grippy” with an inherently high coefficient of friction and combined with pinching polyurethane bushings create a lot of friction. The result is a harsh ride and reduced tire adhesion.

PolyBronze have a rigid bronze bearing core that does not deform. The polyurethane jacket absorbs mount irregularities while the bronze inner bearing remains true, providing a free-moving machined-fit that rides on a precision race. Provided grease fittings make re-lubrication a breeze and a figure 8 groove keeps grease in place.

The combination delivers zero squeaks and friction-free suspension movement. Well suited to street or track, ride quality.

About Spring plates

Why do Porsche Spring plates matter?

Spring plates sit between the torsion bars or springs and the rear suspension on many Porsche models, and play a key role in how the rear of the car moves, feels and can be adjusted. Over time the plates and especially their bushes can wear or corrode, which affects how smoothly the suspension articulates and how accurately ride height and geometry can be set. Renewing tired components helps the rear suspension work freely again and supports precise setup for road or track use.

  • Keep the rear of your Porsche feeling consistent and controlled
  • Support accurate ride height and geometry adjustment during setup
  • Reduce unwanted noises from worn bushes and sticking movement
  • Help maintain long-term enjoyment and potential resale appeal of classic Porsche models

When should you review or replace your Porsche spring plates?

Checking spring plates and their bushes during suspension work helps you spot wear, damage or age-related deterioration before it affects comfort, refinement or leads to more expensive repairs later on.

  • Existing parts are worn, cracked, noisy, corroded or seized
  • You notice knocking, squeaking, binding, inconsistent ride height or harshness over bumps
  • Rear alignment or ride-height adjustment has become difficult or unstable
  • You are carrying out a wider suspension refresh, geometry setup or restoration

If any of these apply, it is a good time to review your spring plates and replace anything that is past its best so your Porsche stays dependable and enjoyable to drive.
