If you leave out the rubber ring you'll have metal on metal rubbing and probably noise.
I do have the rubber installed. that is not where it is making contact. It is the upper spring perch making contact with the plate itself. It actually rubs a groove into the aluminum upper spring perch. the issue is that the bearing stack is not tall enough for my setup. I'm very dropped and have more than -3deg.... I've seen the exact same thing on another Vorschlag 135i install too... that caused the driver to move to Dinan non-adjustable plates.
