I have four nubs in front. when I bought them I actually did not understand the system and got original MB rubber. It seemed like a good idea with my new original MB coil springs. Now my front gap is approaching "rock crawler" territory and we will be cutting the coil soon (I have been trying to do this for some time, but "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans"--John Lennon). Then we will see what nubs seem appropriate for me.

It sounds by your experience, my reasoning is sound

Yes, I think so. Many members have experience what I have, which is that ordering the correct spring has resulted in an increased gap in the front wheels requiring cutting. My best guess confirmed by several helpful members is that taking half a coil will bring it to near where I want it, and if I then have to, I can fine tune with a new lower nub spring pad.
