Default Titanium rear spring bolts

Anyone interested in Titanium rear spring bolts? Say 1"longer for lowering the rear? Would reduce unsprung weight as well as be corossion resistant. If I have enough interest I may get a run of them.

If you are having them CNC made, I will quote a price for you. Material will be pricey. I have a Mazak CNC lathe with live tooling and vertical mill.

I think the little cost of making the bolts would be incredible compared to the gain in unsprung weight.

How much are we talking here, a few ounces?

I went to me local bolt maker and got some big, heavy, zinc-plated bolts for my car, and they work fine!

Save the Wave! :cool:
