Brand New Atkins Corner Seals Out of Spec?
 
So here's the deal. I ordered a new set of Atkin's solid corner seals and they don't appear to be in spec.
Mazda's specs for corner seal height is .276" NEW/.268" Trash.
All 12 of the new corner seals I received measured in at .270"
I bought these to replace my old Atkins solid seals that were at .268" after about 10k miles.
Those seals were 5 years old.

I called yesterday and, after talking to someone for a few minutes was told I'd get a call back. Today rolled around and still hadn't heard back so I called them. I was basically told that I can send them in and they'd check in to it and I could get my money back.

Has anyone else had problems with these. I know theyre extremely popular and I had no problems with my old set, but if these are only .002" fresher, should I just get my money back and use my old set?

Re: Brand New Atkins Corner Seals Out of Spec?
 
Late responding but my buddy had to rebuild his Renesis after using the the Atkins Cryo seals for only 500 miles or so and when we tore it down the apex and the corner seals were out of spec. It was his first build so he didn't spec them when he got them from Atkins. They did not respond to him either. He rebuilt it again with Mazda OEM stuff and it is running great.
