Were on the same page... I bought them, and you would imagine the difference post installation would be significantly noticeable, NOT. I dont know how they "should"perform, but damn was i disappointed. Thats why im saying to go to the f3. I think they got me with the "gold" in the valves, i think the part is worth as much as the gold in them...nada.

 

Dude, that is soooo funny! I thought I was missing something, I couldn't tell any difference. I about drove myself nuts pulling the tops off my forks over and over again. Lol! Anyway, looks like F3 swap is the way to go then.
