Has anyone installed these bearings?

Just like to know what your experience with them has been.
One thing I noticed is that you will loose a small amount of Z-Axis height after installation.

RE: ruthex/igus Bearings
There is a fair discussion of a few of the plastic bearings in another thread. The one common issue is they have more play than normal ball bearings, and some seem to wear faster than ball bearings. A favorite was the bushings that were prefilled with a Teflon grease (Superlube was in the name). Do a search, it was in the past 6 months.

You're thinking of Vesconite. Still going strong on my machine to date. And no rods slowly scoring themselves to death XD
