I think cutting a slot thru the hex is just asking for it to fail.

I used a power screwdriver with a screw to pre thread the holes, go straight in in one constant drive. using a hand held driver is a lot of starting and stopping and angle changes which doesnt help.
did six diff cups with only one screw and didnt have a problem.
The only issue with getting a tap is its really small and if you break it off it might be a problem to get out... Murphys law states that it WILL break off inside where u cant get at it. again if you do I would chuck it in a drill, NOT the hand tap handle.

NOT an issue, after tapping the screws are still very tight going in...

nope, im assuming it would increase your acceleration, but decrease your top speed. Assuming you keep the pinion the same.

If I was tapping metal holes that deep I might be worried about a broken tap, but in plastic I've done holes much deeper than these diff cases without problems.

I burned myself on a screw backing it out with a power driver from the friction generated heat. Even screwing it in manually, I could feel heat build up.

I'll do it for the next ones I replace.

You can sacrifice a screw and cut a slot down the side to turn it into a "tapping" screw as well.

Here is a way to tell the difference from the shock bottoms in the kit to the replacement ones...

Shoot some bearing oil or WD40 in the pivot joints and balls. Otherwise, yes it creaks.

But know that they must all be the same length. Very close to the same length.
