Bent one on the front of my XB2 first day out. Running 17.5 with no huge crashes. You got be f-ing kidding me with this junk.
These are machined too large and enough for the shock not to slide over. Had to sand them down to fit. It also seem as that it’s not machined parallel because there was light showing around the caliper when I measured it. The stock xray one was perfectly machined with no light showing at the caliper. Wouldn’t get these again.
They look great, the machining and finish is perfect. These save around 2 grams per pair vs the stock steel ones. The only downside to these is that they don't work with a standard hex driver. They need an open ended wrench to hold them from spinning while tightening the locknut.
Reviewers disagree sharply on this titanium shock mount. One verified owner reports the front mount bent on the first day of running a 17.5 car with no major crashes. Another reports the mounts were machined oversized, so the shock would not slide over them, and that they needed sanding to fit; this reviewer also noted light showing around a caliper, suggesting imperfect parallel machining, and preferred the stock part. A third reviewer praises the machining and finish and cites about 2 grams saving per pair versus stock steel, noting that an open-ended wrench is needed to hold the mount while tightening the locknut. Fit and machining accuracy appear to be the main recurring concern, though only three reviews are available.
