Yes, Fit the 2mm washers with the 106gti springs! that takes the seat pressure up to about the same as a silvertop (strangely, they're not much better than silvertop springs), otherwise the springs will be no good at all really.
You can go thicker than 2mm if you work out your cam lift, but be careful, as you may cause problems with the stem seals.
