Thanks man! The 500s had some spring binding issues and roller bearings that were shot. Also the dampening knobs hardly worked and the brake brackets had to be modified to fit. Although they were the generation 3 500s. The generation 4 510s have been wonderful, but after speaking to several legitimate sources, I'm convinced the RCEs are the route to go. I like that they are kw shocks, and come with helper springs. It doesn't suck that they have the best reviews out of any coilover in regards to performance and comfort.
