Any one got spring pad numbers?
« on: April 29, 2007, 10:21:18 PM »
There has been much talk of cutting springs, changing spring pads and spring/strut combos here, but has anyone found different spring pads?

I know DClay suggested getting some new pads made up http://www.m42club.com/forums/showpost.php?p=19181&postcount=17:)

But

I was kind of hoping some ingenious person had a list of the different pad numbers and their heights.
I'm mainly looking at the rears but if I can lower the front as well (until I get my new struts) without cutting springs then that is good.

Thanks to all for a great site.
