Used for AOE correction so that the gear teeth are better aligned with the piston basically. Probably not the best explanation but check out Airlab for an installation guide (they also sell em) & Patrol Base did an AOE correction mod too but without the sorbo pad

Oh i spent like 2 hours (not even exagerating) on my AOE a while ago but i didnt use sorbo pads, my AOE is pretty damm good if i say so myself, is there any point redoing it with sorbo's or nah?

Dont sorbo pads also take some of the strain of the piston also making is quieter? or have i made that up?

Sorbo pads are primarily designed to reduce the shock impact on the cylinder head/gearbox. The fact that they can also be used to correct AoE is almost secondary.

As for what they are, sorbothane is a synthetic elastomer. Mostly used for shock and vibration damping (mountain bike forks, insoles for example).

Sorbo is better than neoprene.

The neo washers I use do offer some small but no way as good as sorbo. But an improvement over std AOE & slight impact. Sorbo is not cheap and like many things if you want to it really properly you have to spend a bit more time n money on things. Lozart is 101% correct I will admit that
