Nice to hear The only "test" i've done is the drop test on the table. It's a viewable difference on the rebound since i tapered them.
I've got 1.3mm drilled pistons with w40/35 Ass oil.
Why is there so much snow here!

Pardon my inexperience but what are tapered pistons supposed to do?

They keep the compression as it is, but make the rebound faster. I.E, you get a shock with different character then a standard piston.
I'm not the best person to explain, maybe someone can fill in?

In simple terms it allows the shock to compress the way you want it but when it springs back the taper pushes the oil around the side of the piston better which allows the shock to expand faster.

They are excellent for running on bumpy tracks.
