Hi
You might want to look at 924 - 944 spring plates. They are adjustable.

Agreed, they have several different rear adjusters some for standard torsion bars, some for their own.
I'm not actually chasing torsion adjusters from sway-away anyway, they have some other products of interest that I've had trouble sourcing
locally so I thought I'd ask about local suppliers while I had the chance :thumb

From what I've seen it adjusts both at the same time, so you need to get both spring plates the same to begin with....or correctly offset if thats
whats needed to get the car level......have fun :thumb

Current version is both at once. Version 3 will be individual, version 1 was individual and Version 2 was both as it was stronger than version 1. I
have it sorted now and version 3 will be independant
