Default FTI Converter Questions
I'm looking at getting one of the SRL Series 9.5 Billet Lock-Up converters from FTI and was wondering if anyone had any opinions or experiences with the standard vs the hard hit.

Thanks

Just talk to Greg. Super stand up guy and will point you in the right direction, and always willing to talk on the phone if you have any questions.

It doesn't get much better then FTI...I got to tour their shop, everything from CNC'ing raw billet blanks to the balancing is done in the same shop.

Do you opt for the "hard hit" or standard?
