This post was originated by myself and the owner of the website. We found the KYO o-rings do not leak like the AE rings and are the best substitute available today.
However, in my testing I have found the KYO rings add additional stiction/viscosity. So its like adding 2.5-5 weight to the dampening. I liked the no-leaking effect, but I have to admit the AE rings are smoother and you know exactly what oil weight/dampening you are running. I don't recommend the green slime however. Its just a mess and doesn't add any additional smoothness or effect.

Regarding KYO BB shocks, I agree they are the smoothest BB shocks out there. However, a little birdie told me to expect "big" things coming from AE at the Reedy Race in Jan.
