    just add a thicker pad to the rear, then you won't have to run without spring pads ;)

      6mm IIRC, not enough to make it worth the effort. Like Chris said, add to the back.

        6mm = 1/4. Considering the pads are smashed from age they probably aren't even 3mm each anymore... its not really noticable. Won't make any rake thats for sure.

          Yep! They come in 5, 7.5 and 10mm thicknesses. The amount of lift will be slightly more because of the geometry of the trailing arm.

          WAY easier than playing around with the front!
