I have no direct experience with the team prime product, but with the hot bodies I prefer to toss the ball cups provided and replace the cap with the silva shock cap. this allowed more flexibility on shock length, with short or long ball cups on either end. AE ball cups (short, long or the new TC6 style) all work fine and with std AE ball studs.
Can you link me to this "silva shock cap" you refer to? Sounds like it would work better than what I'm doing. Thanks!
