Took a measurement of the Perrin bushings and stock bushings unclamped. The Perrin bushings are about 3mm taller than the stock ones, and being poly probably will compress less than the oen rubber.

This happens to be precisely the thickness of one of the Whiteline endlink heavy duty washers, but I should probably use those on the end links like I'm supposed to lol. Washer hunting I go...

...

Found two regular sized washers to shim with that combine to 3mm thickness. I'll see how that goes. Other options include one or two larger washers 2mm thick each. If anyone has had a bad experience with shiming this way, let me know so I don't break stuff?
