You can tune rebound more accurately this way too. the adjustment of the shock to the terrain is more efficient..imo...because the air/oil mixure is constantly adjusting whereas with a bladder, you have to rely on the actual bladder to separate the oil and adjust to rebound, and sometimes as you run the car the consistency of the bladder will change whereas with the emulsion type shock setup, the dampening is more consistent for a longer period of time. For the 22 to convert the shocks to emulsion all you had to do was cut out the center piece of the bladder till it looks like an o-ring and then build from there. There are some tips on youtube that mike truhe shows on the shocks for the 22 if you need to see it happen to understand it.
Personally I hate building bladder shocks, I never had the best luck getting the rebound the same front to left. Maybe Im not the best at it but when I build emulsion type shocks they come out the same no matter what. And they feel better on the track
