If other people are happy putting this on their car it doesn't bother me. But in my opinion it is not designed correctly so I am not putting it on my car. Mark has offered me a refund which is very decent of him, so I am happy too. I will leave it at this as we clearly have different opinions on what is a good design and what is not.
Why should it be 2mm? The gap does nothing other than prevent the 2 parts touching.
I've ran these on rally cars without issue. You are reading too much into the combined height. Fit them then measure the total height. Every beam has different wear/clearances.
Or just send them back and dont whine.
