            SOOOO you're looking to clunk out your engine... Pour liquid glass in, it's not springy at all.


            On the serious note, buy performance springs from VAC or Korman and move on.

                    RCS does: typically for Top Fuel or NASCAR, or most other top-dollar racing efforts.

                    I am sure they would make a set for the M20.

                      I have no idea why you think these are worth using in an M20. What do you expect to gain?

                          you know there are lots of "regular" springs out there that are quite stiff. Plus I have no idea what cam you will have that's going to flow up to 9k, even the schrick 304 peaks somewhere around 8. Not to mention why you even want to do that..

                              Screw titanium. Just go for pneumatic and be done.
