Spring Mats - Part numbers


#1

So, after all the conversations with front runners it seems like there is some balance to be gained from playing around with spring mats - removing them or using different thickness mats (maybe 540 mats?).

Anyways, I’m not asking anybody to give me a winning setup, plus I’m guessing different cars have different weight distribution, but if somebody can give me some part numbers for various thicknesses instead of me having to find them I’d be very appretiative.

Use at your own risk. Your mileage may vary. May cause rashes, itching, flaking skin. Not intended to cure mediocrity.

Thicker spring pads up front helps a little bit with weight distribution as our cars are usually nose heavy. I used 10mm pads on the front struts.

Thanks guys.

Steve D - I don’t think anything will cure my mediocrity. This is simply to satisfy my new desease - I caught the “Ranger” bug.

Two more question. How thick are our stock ones? Easiest place to get them, dealer?
