The bolts are indeed beautiful. Nice work guys!
And titanium is nearly 100% corrosion free.

A technical point: 6AL 4V titanium (the most common used in aerospace applications) has a tensile strength of approximately 1000 MPa.
This compares to 1035 MPa in a grade 8 steel bolt like the kind used by Porsche.
So, while the titanium bolt is 55-60% the weight of hardened steel, it is not stronger.
But the set of titanium bolts do save about 700 grams total (1.5 lbs) of unsprung weight.

They look fantastic!

Might order a set...

Forged, you are saying they are weaker than the factory bolts...but I assume it is negligble... 3.5% weaker...correct?

Thanks!

Please don't misunderstand. These Ti bolts are VERY strong. Plenty strong enough for any application. And they are frigging beautiful.
They are just not STRONGER than the bolts that come with the car.
