Been looking around for a set of Dupont Vespel slides.  Have not been able to find anybody that has them in stock 

I realize this is an old thread, but I just ordered Polaris #2889115 from Partzilla. $ 208 plus tax. It's Sunday, so I don't have conformation. Maybe it will turn out "out of stock"?

Do these just last longer or are they also supposed to offer less drag?

Both, but the factors are relative.  They don't perform miracles.

If you burn off hyfax in ten minutes, these might last fifteen.  If you have good wheels, the drag difference isn't a lot.

I run them and I've never found them cheap.  For the price alone, the standard hyfax are cheaper even when you go through more sets.

One advantage on the Cat rails is the larger size.  I'm picky about alignment and watch it close.  The larger size keeps them a little closer to true.  If you don't watch alignment, the clips will dig into the sides.

To maximize the wear of the Vespel hyfax, you need to put some high-sided clips on the track.

For almost 200 bucks a set, I'll replace the stockers at 5000 miles for less  than half that.

In the last 10 years I don’t think I have spent 200 bucks buying hyfax. I can’t even remember the last time I changed a set
