Tried the RRP slipper and was not to my liking. Keep the nut super tight and check often till the slipper pads take a set. It will slip like crazy when new and drive ya nuts but after a while it starts to get better. Right when mine really started to get right the pad ring cracked and I had to start over. I went back to the stock set up and never looked back. good luck.
