I notice that the original shims have a mirror-like finish. The new shims (Toyota Parts 13753-16521, 13753-16621) have a smooth finish but it isn't shiny and mirror-like. Will the new shims wear to be like the old ones? - and on both sides?

They do rotate in the buckets, so they might shine up on both sides. __________________ '88 Corolla, AE92 SR-5, 7A-FE swap/GT-S suspension '87 Corolla, AE82 FX-16, 4A-GZE swap (autocrosser) '03 Tundra 4X4 Access Cab, (FX tow vehicle/Home Depot runner) Modification: Changing something to what you thought it should have been from the start!
