Default Front spring washer diameter needed

I think I may have had a moment of less than optimum brain activity when I put my coil-overs together. What is the diameter of the two upper washers (#9) supposed to be? I am assuming they should be larger in diameter than the washer that goes on the rear springs (#16)?

Cheers!
Carl

Front shock spring top washer 78-95 is 55.61 mm, give or take. Holler if you need me to pop the cover on the rear and measure it.

I think they are all the same size, not 100% sure

Thanks Rob and Stan!

I am certain the front ones are the same diameter but I have 4 large ones which I assume is #9 (front upper and lower) and 2 slightly smaller diameter which I assume is rear #16. If anyone has easy access to the rear ones I would absolutely love a picture or measurement to confirm if I am experience a brain fart or not. If I managed to put one smaller in the fronts then it won't rest properly on the inner (hidden) rubber lip on part #8...which means I get to practice removing them....arrgh!

Happy 4th to everyone!

Cheers!
Carl

After looking at the part numbers they are not all the same and Rob has confirmed this,
the fronts all take the same size,
the 2 rear washers are smaller diameter

Awesome gentlemen!

Thank you Rob for measuring those for me. Time for me to go pull those off the car....

Cheers!
