Has anybody tried adjustable spring plates? are they good? any tricks to putting them on? I lowered my front end on my 73' with drop spindles and i would like to lower the rear about an inch. Are adjustable spring plates the way to go? I have heard about adjusting the splines one notch, which is better?  I want the best ride possible, will I need different shocks as well?I had to replace my shocks when I added the spindles on the front.
Thanks for your input!

Who knew that a cheap little car designed for the masses at the whim of an evil dictator could be so very cool more than 6 decades later?

Well, adjustable plates will allow you to adjust without taking half the car apart.

I have a set, but I bought them to use on an affroad car and was worried about the abuse they would take.

Thanks for the input.  I'm still considering using spring plates, I haven't messed with the splines before and I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. If your interested in selling those spring plates let me know...
