Coming from T-Works and made for the Awesomatix A800FX front-wheel drive touring car are a titanium ball stud set as well as three new screw kits. The ball stud set includes 25 high-quality ball studs machined from 64 grade titanium for a low weight and exceptional stability. The balls come polished for smooth suspension action and improved looks and using them not only scrubs weight but also adds corrosion resistance when running in wet track conditions. Also Available are a 77-piece mixed titanium and black anodised aluminium screw kit, a 97-piece all-titanium screw set as well as a 97-piece gold-colour steel screw kit. Both the mixed and full titanium set include UFO head screws for cool looks and they help to reduce the overall weight of the car while the gold-colour steel screws mainly add bling.
