I received an email from a friend that knows this body style very well. I never
thought too ask/say anything about the rubber that is tacked too the body
blocks on your car. I assumed (big mistake on my part) that ALL cars would
take 1/8"-1/4" for shimming. So,..here is 2 questions....

1. Are there/is there any rubber shims on your body blocks?
2. This is the quote on the amount of rubber shims,.." On average it should be 1/4"-5/16" uncompressed."
