This question has been asked many times before on benzsport and bnzsport ....
so I am going to share with club202 family how I have been doing it.
AS some of you know, I am double stacking spring pad on the rear
I have a pad sandwich which consist of older pad (w201 part) and newer pad (w210).
This is how the older pad looks like (w201) part early W202 chassis (94-mid 96 )
As you can see there are groves on the side wall, but the base of the pad is flat, which a good match for the early model spring as well that has tappered end

Now I am going to use this pad ass the main pad.
First what I did is dremmelled off the grove on the sidewall, and make the side wall smoother
Here is what the pad look like after being smoothened out...

Now as you can see below the difference between newer and older pad.
The newer pad has a grove on its base so that the spring can sit it propertly, where the older pad has flat based and to be used with older spring (tappered spring)

Now I am going to use the newer pad (my stock pad #1(w210 part) as an insert for the main pad (older W201 part)
And voila the pad is stacked now

Make sure that they will sit properly == no gap

it's pretty simple and straight forward right.. ;)
Hope this helps ;)
