    Some cars have long posts and these get the springs and two washers with a split pin. These go with a thin washer against the brake shoe, then the spring then a thicker washer and then the split pin. Some have short posts, these get only the two washers and a split pin because the posts are not long enough for the spring. I’m not sure why that is, but I have run into both types.
