Default Which is stronger?

The Katech Sleeved LS2 or the Darton Sleeved LS2?

Default Sleeves

Their prolly using the same sleeves as Darton makes the sleeves. Not unless there is another player on the sleeve game?

Ask Steve @ RED as he helped develop the sleeves for Darton

The sleeves in my ls2 dont have the holes around the outside of them. So someone makes them, but we couldn't identify who made them. The guys at the machine shop were kinda stumped as well.

Dry sleeves don't have any holes around them. They are made by many companies as well including Darton.

i believe wet sleeves are stronger then dry sleeves. the ls2 aftermarket sleeves are dry atleast most of them. i believe darton makes wet and dry for the ls2 and ls7. an mid sleeved ls1/2/3/7 block are stronger then the c5r block. I know im gonna proabably get flamed for saying that but just ask steve at RED.

Thats what Steve told me awhile ago too. If I remember, isn't the LS1 block the best of them all for strength?
