Youre basically replacing the thick white spacer (its a thick black spacer now) with two thin washers and an oring. I used a teflon based grease to lube them up... but Green Slime works just as good.

But because youre adding one more oring to each shock, it grabs the shock shaft a little more and helps to naturally reduce chassis roll leaving you more options with the rest of your setup (no swaybar, different oil/spring combinations, different shock position, roll center, caster, inline axles, etc).

If you do it to just the front shocks, it initially feels like going from a black front spring to a green front spring in smooth corners (removing initial bite/turn in), but jumps like a black spring.

If you do it on low bite/dusty tracks it becomes problematic. The shocks stick quick and you lose all rear grip.
