sorry for the newb question regarding spring pads

Hey there everyone ive been lurking the forums for a while and was trying to learn more aboutt he w211. I have had my car for more then a year now and tried not to mod it as much as my previous car. E46fanatics really made me spend alot on my e46.
anywho back to my question... i was just wondering about the thickness or the spring perches on the w211... where can i find the thinest one as i want to the lower the car further. Right now its ridining on the eibach prokit and is on 19" amg rims and i want it a bit lower. Do you guys suggest getting a thinner spring perch and will it make much of a difference? or would you guys just suggest not using the perches at all?

on my previous car i had pss9s and had the ability to lwoer as much as i wanted but i opted for springs for this car.

thanks alot guys and sorry for the newb question.

First of all, it's in mm not cm!! But then again you probably knew that.. You also missed one:
A211 325 05 84 23mm

One more thing though, i think the list above is for the rear shims, the front ones are similar except for (321) instead of (325).

Could anyone confirm this?
