quick question!

swapping suspension i noticed a black plate that seemed to come off the OEM suspension.

im assuming the black plate is there to serve as grip for the nuts to hold down coilover, springs, etc. is that the purpose that it serves?

if i was to install tien strut bar, would this black plate still be there?

 

guess these are called black spacer plates / black ring spacer?

 

yes keep them. i believe the add more strength but not sure

 

thanks. i ended up leaving them on there. i was just unsure cause with the coilover strut, the black plate and the strut bar it was like super thick
