Yeah, installing these is not like what you see in their video... twist, drop, clink!

Nope.

I used some lithium grease on mine. Z1 recommended something light, like CRC silicone spray. But they still dont drop in.

I had the gap, and even though after talking to and having them send me pics, the gap seems normal, I still had mine installed wrong. I was getting a metal creaking sound, and turns out it was these top collars.

I just decided to go in again and figure out if that was the issue. I just kept feeling with my fingers trying to figure out how to orient them, and eventually did i think. Noise went away.

I dont know man... not much I can say, but the gap seems normal, so maybe you're OK.

I can send you some pics of mine and Z1s if you'd like. Send me email or TXT info if you want.
