Thanks, yes new P5 vs used originals. I thought orange silicon orings were not supposed to swell but I put them in.
I did notice on closer inspection the orginals had a lot of clearence to the housing where as the P5's had a little clearence.
I have the 2014, black shocks with titanium coated shafts. I am surprised they are anything short of exceptional. Would a shim to squeeze the orings be worth a try?
