Anyone know how many mm the stock rear spring pads are? I wanted to...

[audiquattrot]

possibly go with a bit thicker rear pads just to raise the rear a bit, since the car has a reverse rake on w/ the H&Rs.

Curious if anyone has done the same, or knows or another BMW spring pad off any other model car I can use that might be a bit thicker.

Thanks

Doo some wood plates is there, I have 7.5mm+5mm rubber bellows+1 cm some hard of wood in there. Now is little front down....

huh, i never thought of wood. i guess it would work. as far as the spring pads are concerned, i think they are about 4 or 5mm or so. the lower one is shaped like madona's bra. you could get a few from a junk yard parts car, just cut out the center and stack them on.

Yup I got a couple lower ones and plan on cutting the hole a little larger and stacking like you said. Still debating if I should put the cut up one below or above the existing one.
