looks about right, im running excell-g shocks and im actually using rubber isolation bushes from another vehicle, they are firm rubber and wont degrade over time. they are about 30mm thick. are those ones soft as stock?

Looks like the old piece you have is only the bit that sits up inside the top mount. When I pulled my old ones out they were more than twice that length, but I had standard springs on. I've also been trying to find out how long the bump stops should be with Lows, without much success unfortunately.

yeah it was hard to tell with so little of the stops left.
but i put them in anyway at that height, had 2 adults in the back last night, was driving fast over some humps and dips, and didnt feel a thing, so very happy with the result. thats with 20's and lowerd suspension
