Where do you pick up titanium retainers, new spring seats and new keepers?
Benefits of changing the retainers to something non-stock?

... and it's titanium retainers and aluminum spring seat... basically you are lightening the weight on top of the spring so it's less work for the spring to slam shut.
If you are using Supertech's crap, to which I am using, you need the 99+ Miata keepers/valve locks if you are using the titanium retainers. If you use the stock retainers you can use your exsisting keepers/valve locks.
By the way, titanium is stronger than steel and lighter...
