If there are other reasons they are benificial I will concider the switch. I'm just not quite convinced there's enough benefit to justify the cost. Would love to hear some of your guys opinions on them tho.

Thanks
My plastic caps got super sloppy after a short time. I thought the bushing might have worn out, but I kept the bushing and replaces the plastic caps with alum. And it was instantly way way better. Slop gone. Now 4 months later, starting to get a little slop with the alum caps. This time I probably need to replace the plastic bushings. I am looking at getting the AVID shock bushings this go around.
