Hi guys, i got a realforce 87U silent model and leopold fc660c....I'm planning on this same mod. I've done some research and it seems like it's a fairly straightforward slider swap.
and now i plan to change the silent topre into leopold....is it workable? and anything need to take note when doing it??
so the realforce slider originally got lubed?? because i am thinking wanna lube again before install into leopold....Hi guys, i got a realforce 87U silent model and leopold fc660c....I'm planning on this same mod. I've done some research and it seems like it's a fairly straightforward slider swap.

none of the topre boards I've opened were lubed. I believe you'll have to lube yourself.so the realforce slider originally got lubed?? because i am thinking wanna lube again before install into leopold....Hi guys, i got a realforce 87U silent model and leopold fc660c....I'm planning on this same mod.

Sliders do not come lubed, as far as I know, so you will need to lube them yourself.
so the realforce silent slider without lube also can remain as silent on leopold board ??

Correct, the pad is what silences it.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mXH5kjE.jpg)
I personally didn't lube mine, but I know many people prefer to as it adds additional silencing and feels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there also a very slight height difference with the purple sliders?

The legs on the purple slider are shorter and the barrel is longer, to accommodate the silencing ring, however, they're still the same height as stock sliders.

Thanks for clarifying! I've been told that the purple sliders go for $2 per on the aftermarket, so may be a while before I test them out
before i put mine up for sale i asked one or two folks what the going rate is, and $2 was confirmed.
I include the silencing rings when I sold mine, make sure to check that detail out when shopping around. some sellers wont.
