Agreed that 60 psi is overkill. We were running ours at ~30-35PSI, but bumped it up to around 40 psi afterwards to hopefully overcome any slightly bent piston rods we experienced. We borrowed* some spares from 708 when the inital issue occurred, and purchased more afterwards. We also acquired some 1 1/4" bore pistons, but opted not to change to them after we added the shields, since they would end up awfully close to our frame perimeter. We've only experienced one bent piston at competition, and that was the result of user error while attempting to push the buttons on the solenoid (one side deployed while the other didn't, and the bend was easily fixed afterwards).
