Aluminium spring plate retainers
So, are they worth it?
Wondering if I should invest in a set. My car is mostly a street driven, but intend of using it for some "classic road racing"/gentlemanracing |

The thing is it's not the sping plate retainer that is interesting, it's the replacement of the rubber bushing with a bronze one. This will keep the rear end quite well placed but will probably make for quite a harsh ride.

Know of the feature of the bronze bushing. Seemed to obivous to mention Is the rear end designed as to have the spring plates move forward/aft during acceleration/braking etc? It`s mainly toe in/out that is changed as far as I can think off. |

hi, are you asking if it's surposed to move?

In short form: yes.
The rubber bushing is primary a bearing for the springeplate to rotate in. But do they also play the role of improving the dynamics of the rear suspension (as in changing the toe to a more desireable value in acc/braking), or does it make it much worse. |

well my thinking is it promots lift off/snap oversteer, and that can't be good. but i surpose if set right it would go to neutrel when decelarating. i'm just thinking out loud thou, sure there's plenty better people to answer that!
