Yes you should get them, they mount just above the rear end ( one on each side )...hopefully someone can post a picture where they go. http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...RTNUMBER=80046

That is the jounce stopper spacer . I took the spacer out of my car . Since it is lowered it kept crashing on the stops. It is meant to keep the tires from rubbing on the inner fender well due to some manufacturer differences. I personally have no rub problems.

When I lowered my car (about 1.25"), I removed the jounce spacers off the rear of my car. I've since put on 315/35-17 Nittos on 17x11 ZR1's in the back and have had zero rubbing issues whatsoever.

I also lowered my WS6 2" and removed the aluminum spacers to gain suspension travel. It's never rubbed even once and I road race.
