Why not save $$$$,and drill out your grade8's. We did it and it took about 2 hours to do all the large suspension bolts. Cost was a drill bit.

According to Pawn Stars last night, we buy most of our titanium from Russia, might as well get it, where we get it! Bob

Before you go buying Titanium check your rules to see if it's allowed. I know of one car that was not be able to race because the driver was bragging about spending $7,000 on titanium pieces. I was the tech insp at the time and I had just walked up and was standing next to him. Ooops.

I bought a lot of my Ti bolts directly from Metec. They were cheaper than buying individually from BR or some other place. Kits are also one way to go

Anybody have an idea what sort of weight savings you get from switching to titanium bolts?

It is proportional to the amount of money you drop, it kinda comes to a point, where it doesn't make any difference! Bob:2:

I've found after a long winter that the best and cheapest way is have the driver lose 5 or 10 lb. SAVES YOU MONEY AND MAYBE HIS HEALTH! Just an idea
