Default GS washer shim?
How do you shim the GS to give it the same effect as an actual spring? I heard something about meteric washers.

X3 - cheap isnt necessarily good. Hell, the pump could hang up and you could have a bad situation on your hands.

Got about 20k on my washer kit so far and I've seen many other say they're having no problems with theirs.
