Hi,
I guess the more stuff I read, it all brings next questions. So, if I decide to to replace most of the rear suspension (I just would feel more comfortable) including subframe mount, subframe bushings, shocks and the springs what is the recommended thickness of the spring pads? One would say that these are the least important in the overall scheme of things but I want to stick to all the original specs. Should I even worry about the spring pads if I get the most important components out of the way?
