This is with the Kashima coated shock bodies. Has anyone else run across this? Before anyone asks, the flanged shims are in the correct orientation.....


On a side note, I see most setups called for two pads on the slipper. Is anyone running the VTS slipper anymore or have all the drivers gone back to just two pads?
