The OEM subframe bushings have voids in them and these fits into those voids like keys, but they have thicker faces where the washers sit.

I did look closely at my car on a level paved surface. The rear is low but the tire is not tucked under as I thought it was. I think without spacers it is easy to get an angle that looks tucked. With the spacers pushing the wheel faces out flush there is still clearance of a finger or so.

I will take some before/after pics & measurements on the bushings.
Looking forward to the pics. For me, ideally I would like the rear raised by about 1/2" or 3/4", but anything is good... since I am now considering KW V1 (or even back to stock springs) for the foreseeable needed height
