Re: Titanium retainer question Crash, I can weigh one and compare it to a stock one off my 99. Someone posted that there is only a 3 gram difference between a stock and titanium retainer.
Re: Titanium retainer question Thanks 2xLS1.
I still think they are just stock retainers though. I thought that titanium retainers were shiny. If they are wrong I need to try and get my money back. Can anyone help me out here?

Re: Titanium retainer question Does anyone know if a magnet will stick to titanium? Just a thought that it could be one way of testing them. I don't know.
Re: Titanium retainer question ummm.....I really don't know of any way to tell the difference except to weigh them. You could go to a dealership parts department and see if they have any factory retainers in stock. If so, you could have them bring you one out and you could compare the weight in your hand (there will be a "slight" difference).
Other than that.....wow....don't know what to say.

look for the tapered edge on the spring end. i believe the stock edge is squared off unlike this:
