I remember reading on a post that the thickness was .055". Don't quote me on that though.

Probably too late now, but https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/6152-question-about-spec-stage-3-clutch.html confirms it's 0.055"

here's some other misc info about Spec Stage 3 clutch installs and the shim/spacer, found while looking for the measurement:
