rear shock replacement

[Delorean17@xxxx]

Hello,
One of my rear Girling shocks is broken in half. My cross-reference 
sheet shows that Monroe matic-plus #33049 but says "requires space washers to 
fit" is this much of a problem? I would go and buy those shocks that one of 
the clubs has for sale on their site but I would rather save a few extra 
bucks and by something else I need more.(those do look nice though, I forget 
the site address) has anyone ever tried these Monroes? how do they work? I 
would like to buy from NAPA if possible because I get 30% off there:)
Thanks
