Working on installing my racetech gold valves, per my DVS sheet my Low Speed stack needs (3) .25x19 shims, however the kit only came with a total of (4) .25x19 shims. I have enough.15x19 and .10x19 shims to create the same overall thickness. My understanding is that (5) shims measuring .75 won't perform the same as (3). My overall question is will I be fine to do this and not notice it or should I just go ahead and order a couple shims?

Ask Race Tech!  Their support is super helpful.  I had a similar issue and if I remember correctly they told me I could substitute a slightly thicker shim and also offered to send more shims.  The suspension was a huge improvement over stock!

Thank you I plan on hitting them up!

Thick divided thin, cubed.  

.25/.15= 1.67.  

1.67x1.67x1.67=4.66  

4.66x3= 13.98 

13.98 .15x19 shims equal 3 .25x19 shims.
