Toms Ski bushing kit question.

So I was looking at the thread about the Powder Wedges and saw a comment about the Tom's ski bushing kit. So it looks like the one bushing goes on each side of the spindle instead of the way the stock bushing goes inside OR outside. Correct? This should set the skis in a "middle" position that you can't get with the stock bushing. Tom sent me a set of these last year when I bought Evo Air kits and I thought they were for the shocks for some reason. I could not figure out how they fit anywhere so They have been sitting in a box all year. I set the skis wider on our XMs yesterday and I like that better than the narrow setting. I also put a pair of Fox Evol R shocks on one of them that I took off my 12 XP. Man those shocks are WAY better than the stockers. The stock springs are so soft that the sled really flops back and forth to easy. Even increasing the preload doesn't seem to help much because the spring is a single rate. Also when the sled is up on one ski in a sidehill the spring and shock can't control the ski in deep or rutted snow. I am going to get a set of Evol Xs for the other XM and try those. I had a set on my Freeride and they were amazing. I really like that you can mess with both low and high speed bump, not just rebound like the Rs.
 
Yep that's how they work had those bushings on my xp and I set them up with the ski centered works great.
 
I was thinking of buying the bushing kit with the Powder Wedges. Is there a noticeable difference in steering pressure when you center the skis?
