I always used rebound in my set ups, should I continue or set at 0 rebound?

I'm curious if the will warranty the pistons. I had one break the other day and my track is anything but brutal. It was weird since it just snapped off a piece but was still attached to the shaft. These were the 5-1.5s for a Mbx 7r. Otherwise, i really liked them.

I tried these out on my D815 yesterday. They definately do rebound faster. We had rain two days in a row which left the track kinda slopped out most of the day. By the time the races started the track got a lot better, but it's hard for me to say right now if the pistons themselves are responsible for a lower lap time because the track was essentially a little different. However, my car did feel good with them. I really like the concept behind them. They do work as advertised (quicker rebound). I'll have a better feel for them next week as long as the track gets back to its usual self and I can compare times.

I have read that for Tekno you have to run a washer above and below the piston to avoid breaking the piston. Can someone please measure the washer so I know what size I need to get since the kit only comes with 2 washers.

The instructions say to loc-tite the nut. I've never done that with a normal piston before. Is everyone doing this? And any failures for those that didn't?

Loctite a nyloc nut...seems kind of redundant
