Thicker spring pad/shim?
Does anyone know if there is a part number for a thicker than stock rear spring pad? Lots of the w204 guys including myself in the past used a 17mm (versus 15 stock i believe) spring pad in the year when running lowering springs so it appeared to sit more evenly with equal amounts of fender gap, rear to front. Does anyone know if we have a part number for a slightly thicker one for the W205's?
*I do know there is adjustable options like KW HAS.

No one hey? This is what it was like for the w204, stock on the right, thicker on on the left and it really helped equal out fender gap on all four corners after springs.

So, I called and talked to my local mercedes parts guy and was able to find out they have part numbers for 3 different thicknesses for the rear. There is 16mm, 18mm and 20mm. Now I just need to find out the factory thickness to go one size thicker. Does anyone know how I might be able to figure it out the thickness or even factory part number used so I can look it up that way? I think when I went through this on the w204 it was the middle thickness that was factory but I don't to take a shot in the dark at it, even though they are fairly inexpensive.
