I probably bought one of the first set of SPAX shocks out there. It was many years ago, but they were "recently" installed. I understand I need to replace the washers as they were to thin. But according to this picture compared to what is sold now, It looks like the bushings are larger for the front shocks also, and the middle washers are just thrown away? Do I need to replace the washers on the rear shocks as well?

This looks exactly the same as an email I replied to this morning.... The "new way" of doing the fronts, is to do them the same as the rears have always been. So you already have the "new style" rear setup. If you want to match the fronts to the rears you just copy that - i.e. it goes (from bottom to top):
Washer
Rubber
--frame--
Rubber
Washer
Nut
Nut
There are no middle washers with this setup.
