The spacer is there to prevent the bump stop from pulling vacuum when compressed. Vacuum would pull the oil through the seals out of the damper.

Another Q -

Just looked at my AST's, sat in the garage, the 4 of them say 4622S - and then 035, 036, 037, 038, 2 long, 2 short ones. Came with std STi top mounts.

Which pair are fronts, which rears!!

Thanks
