In my experience the kashima bodies have a slightly tighter tolerance between the shock body and piston(preventing piston blow by), and smoother sliding action between the two. The kashimas have slightly more high speed damping but on the table comparing the two they feel very similar, the silvers can still be setup very smooth. Much like the changes felt when switching from the grey pistons to the machined ones but to a smaller degree. Whether most people will really need and benefit from them is another matter.

In my opinion and I've read it elsewhere that the kashima bodies have slower damping and an even tighter tolerance, but not by much. If you were to compare the changes felt from the grey vs machine pistons to the silver and kashima shock bodies, the pistons would be much more distinguishable. In combination to the factory look and smoother coating inside the shock the result is more consistent damping at higher shaft speeds but anyone is open to disagree with this. They mainly advertised the smoother sliding surface like you guys mentioned.

Yes to all of the above, the machined piston has a better tolerance and a smoother edge against the body. Much better than the grey plastic ones.

OK, they are different I'll have to buy some.

Has anyone used the new thin pistons yet?

I run the Kashima on my B6.1, and like em. However they were carry overs from my B6

Still any word on if anything crosses over from the B64?

Jconcepts race next week at TRCR, would love to hear a release date. OK, one that is not 2 weeks.
