Default Titanium Suspension Bolts

We have been selling titanium lug bolts for a couple of years and we have had incredible success with the air-cooled Porsche marketplace. We are now looking to expand our titanium offerings.

We are thinking about making titanium hardware for suspension parts for the older Porsche's. This will include the eccentric alignment bolts. I am trying to gauge interest in having parts like this available for you guys.

How many of you guys work on your own suspension parts. If you take it to a shop would you like to have the shop offer you a titanium option?

Price is always going to be a factor that needs to be considered. If I can keep the titanium bolts with 1.5 times the cost of the factory bolt, would that get a quick "YES I WANT THAT!!!"?

I really want to start making more titanium parts but I want to make parts that people want. We are in a really great position to make really high quality fasteners because of the equipment that we own. We also buy titanium at a great price so we can help pass those savings onto you.


Let me know what you guys think.

I very much would be interested in grade 5 titanium bolts (and lock nuts) for the suspension - both front and rear - as long as the prices were no more than 3x the cost of the the Porsche OE parts.

What would be the advantage of the titanium part over the Porsche part? Might we not increase the potential for galling? I wouldn't think there would be much weight difference. How about titanium spring plates?
