Default TRF shocks

Mr Groskamp..mind if i called you Jilles? its easier that way !
I have a question about TRF shocks. i read somewhere you are talking about rebound. By that you mean when you push the shocks in (withouth spring), they come out by themselves? I also heard u do not put in the orange urethane foam bushing on top. i find the TRF shocks odd. with 30wt oil 2 hole piston, when pushed in, the shock shaft comes back out very fast. When i use 60wt oil 2 hole piston also, shaft pushed in, it comes out slower. why is this? also is it normal for it to come out so far back to full extension?
is it true by removing the orange urethane bushing in the shock top chamber, i will get more traction? what is the actual purpose of the urethane bushing?
if you recomend to drill a small hole on the top plastic, is 1mm size enough? i hope you can help me with this...Thank you !
