Thanks TA, I keep forgetting to tell you we have the same mods on our cars. Only small difference is I use Royal Purple blinker fluid, its good for a couple extra horses you know.

i asked the same thing several months ago, that advertised thickness has to be uncompressed...anyone check the compressed thickness of the older graphite ones ? i measeured them out of the box at .053, so i know the advertised compressed thickness is not correct
