MRG titanium stud conversion kit on i3 Rex

Just installed this amazing set on my i3 and can't be any happier. Having seen a lot of bolt on mods on my 1M and my rubicon this has to be topping the list of my favorites. It also helps that they save almost 40% in weight!!!

Out of curiosity, what problem were you trying to solve by going from bolts to studs?

Also, it looks like you went with titanium studs.
I can't recall why at the moment, but everyone on track forums warns to stay away from titanium!

Titanium studs save: (102 - 62 ) * 4 = 160 grams.

I can save 5x that for free, by going to the bathroom ...

You are missing the point.... you are losing sprung weight, the OP is losing un-sprung weight
