The handling was much improved by the uncut/split diaphragms. Would defo recommend drilling the shock piston holes out to 1.4 or 1.5 mm as it made adjusting the dampening rate a lot easier and made the car handle awesome.

It's not the same effect as having zero rebound with the bladders in as you are running an emulsion shock with the air and oil mixed, and you can still build them with rebound if you so wish. My favourite cars over the years have always ran emulsion shocks so its something i've wanted to try for a little while, I can always get another set of bladders if I don't like it.
