How thick are the spacers that SLP installed on the SS cars?

And because of their location, one would have to raise the rear of the car MORE than the thickness of the spacer to maintain the same travel as before the spacer. Isn't that correct?

Spacers are 15mm thick.

They are under the bump stops. They don't raise the car at all unless you are sitting on the bump stops already.

Their purpose is to prevent 275/40/17 tires from rubbing the inside of the rear fender under extreme conditions.

Many people say that they are unneeded. I didn't hear that until after I had already bought mine.

My car is not lowered, and so far nothing has rubbed with the 17's and the spacers but I don't see any great advantage to the spacer either.

On a lowered car they might reduce suspension travel by 15mm.
