i only use Lunsford titanium shock screws!
They make changes in the tower so eazy!

Only a maniac like me would use Titanium screws in the shock towers. They generally snap where normal steel ones will bend. go for steel there.

These quick tune shock mounts look good though.

ye i had the quick tune ones with 2 treads on em on the back , but took them off and replaced them with the blue spacers making the other screws bits bobs and stuff obselete, so now i only have one titanium screw, alu shcok spacer and mount in one and the nut on the end, there pretty good.

ive often thought why do people use the steel ones though now i know cheers guys ;)

If you had two screws of identical dimensions, one steel and one titanium the titanium one would be weaker. Lighter, but weaker.

My reason for leaving those screws on is because they do bend, and I can just replace them at very small cost - so no fret about it.

ahh i see good point. i was jst curious to why thats all
