I just re-used the ones that were on my 150K mile car when I rebuilt the suspension. Everything seems to be just fine.

The 3 mm thickness translates to .118 inches of ride height, for most of us, it's not a big deal.

That's good to know. Thing is I'm also changing the springs, so I'm not sure how the new springs would fit into the groves created by the old springs, plus the cost for new ones is only $26.16 for all four corners. I also decided to go with the thicker pieces.

I suppose this would be why it takes time for the ride height to settle in as the springs will be making new groves in the rubber.

New Front



New Rear
