I'd like to replace the post sleeves in my TSPP to match the original Stern 545-5308-00 ones made from hard rubber, 90 durometer, but can only find 545-5308-00-65 made from 65 durometer. Does anyone know where you can buy a direct replacement? Marco is out of stock and the other US suppliers I checked combine both of the Stern part numbers into a single item so probably supply the softer ones. I'd like to keep the game playing as designed vs. creating more bounce with the softer posts.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same position as you were then. I'm not sure if the Stern stock parts are 65 durometer or 90 durometer. I replaced my post sleeves in my AIQ with Titans and I found that I'm getting more bouncing and air balls than I was with stock sleeves. I'd like to source sleeves that are as close as possible to stock if I can.
