apex seals......???

Iv read great things of the 2mm stock apex seal
the only negative thing i read is about the springs
the seals flutter @ high RPM's and sometimes get
stuck.

does any company make titanium springs or titanium
apex seals????

ive never heard of them, but the hurley seals w/double springs are supposed to stop that fluttering problem. titanium would only be an expensive build and an even more expensive rebuild. that hard as hell material would destroy the rotors and housings then kill the turbos. there are ceramic seals and they are hard as well. they are just as vulnerable to detonation as regular seals. nothing is gonna stop a broken seal except a properly tuned vehicle.
