you won't know if you need shims until you put the springs in a spring pressure and check at what installed height the springs reach the proper seat pressure , then upon installing springs on heads with a spring micrometer and using retainers and locks you need you wind out the spring micrometer and see where the installed height ends up then based on that number you'll know if a shim needs to be added
