The 7 year old and 60k mile rubber RTABs that I took out were absolutely pristine. Rubber looks and feels new to the touch. Either I'm not driving my car hard enough, or those Vorshlag limiters really completely change how these RTABs get used. Also, Tyler, to your point about them being installed correctly: I remember being kinda peeved because when I asked the tech who did the work if they pre-loaded them on install (I had been reading about this job back then and was curious if it was necessary -- had a shop do it because I was roadtripping the car home from GA where I bought it) he gave me a blank stare and then mumbled that it's not necessary. So FWIW, I do think mine were, technically, improperly installed.
I'm now curious enough to follow up with another dumb question -- to what extent do limiters have any negative effect on intended performance/behaviour of OEM rubber RTABs? My experience here tells me that monoballs are overkill and stock rubber with limiters are a great way to go, unless the limiters force some other tradeoff.
The monoballs are pretty and cool tho, so not a bad option if you wanna spend $150-$200 more and not have to ever do RTABs again I guess.
