I'd still say try turning them over. After putting my new valves in with the same stack and smaller bleed hole, you can still feel a dramatic decrease in resistance on the high speed compression. Also it might be worth noting that the difference between 5w and 7.5w (iso 22 and 32 hydraulic oil in my books!) Might be the difference between plush and harsh with the correct shim stack and maybe mid valve...
Food for thought anyway! The local tuner ground the compression side inlets open a little on mine and stated vehemently that I should run 5w oil only. But with the shim stack and free bleed he provided on 0.5 springs with his 2mm recommended preload, half the stroke was lost on the smallest bumps, let alone the rough stuff.
