Default Rear shock absorber bearings?

I remember seeing a page that had a set of races and a bearing for the shock of the F4i. This was a upgrade for those who race i believe. The bearing and races go into the shock between two of its parts and helps eliminate twisting friction that is caused when the shock travels to absorb bumps. It was said to make the shock absorbing smoother. I have some bearings that I think may work but I would like to find the page I saw originally and see what the dimensions of the parts were. The bearings looked like this i believe (these are the bearings i have)

I need to find something to use for races..

Does anyone remember seeing this page?

I assume you have an aftermarket shock. If so, then you're ready for what I'm about to say.

You can machine a set of swingarm plates (the part that's shaped like a boomerang that attaches the shock to the swingarm). Also, replace the bushings. I know of no other bearings in the area except these. You can look it up on microfiche.

And just in case .... you could use this for racing. But check legality of your racing org first.

Best to you.
