Is there anything better out there to replace the rubber bumpers, mine only lasted about 250 shots and i turned them about every 10 shots!!

String-Tamers. A machinist can modify an S-5 to have a .375x1 inch pin instead of the Excal ball to accommodate a StringTamer. Yes, I have done it (without a collet) for DM as an experiment.
Danny Miller can supply the StringTamer rubbers for the modified shaft. Call DM and ask him if you need more information.

Did not make it clear enough that there is enough stock on the S-5 to erase the ball and resize the stem it sits on without installing a pin.

What he said lol. I have 50 or 60 shots on a set of his style stops and no noticeable wear on the rubber baby buggy bumpers.
