If you use them to lower the seat doesn’t it tip you forward? I have to run the front high and the back low to make the seat flat, otherwise it is fairly uncomfortable.
I’ve had a pair (Chinese) on my bike for a couple of thousand miles now. Work well, you don’t feel like you are tipped fwd at all and they make a nice subtle difference to the seat height. I will always buy quality where it matters, but for a bit of rubber hidden the seat, it’s a no brainer.
Can I just check with you that its an RTW? I bought a second hand bracket (Item 1 on the image) and plastic (item 6) and the plastic mount is the same, and the bracket 8531287 ADJUSTING PLATE FOR SEAT, FRONT is slightly lower than the GS.
I measured the GS setup and its 6.8degrees and with the RT is 6.5 so lower at the front (both set on high).
Am I missing something ?

This might help.
Here are a few pics of the chinese copy compared to the standard one.
Both these have the offset bungs fitted.
As you can see it makes a fair bit of difference.

One I have is RT WC and because there is no offset on the bracket (part 1) when on the bike on the high setting it definitely lifts the nose of the seat.
I've used it on two r1200gsa's and it stops you slipping forward onto the tank
