My experience with FMF reeds is that while they perform well, they are weak and don't last. I run Boyesen now.
Yeah, they help the bottom end. I have heard/read/been told that a reed spacer will also help the bottom end but I don't have one on my R so I can't tell you for sure.

The reeds themselves breakdown pretty quickly. In less than 1 year, the cage insert came apart.

How did it come apart?
Would you recommend them when they were good because I think i will try them, I could always change the reeds to better ones.

Use boyeson dual stage reeds and a reed spacer. This works better and cheaper.
