Default In general, how good are stock retainers?

i know spinrgs have to be upgraded due to the needed increase in spring pressure and so forth

but what about retainers, i mean how much better can u make a small steel slug? plus i heard issues with titaniums durability and what not.

fact or fiction? the science behind retainers, anyone have info?

well, how high are you planning in revving? what springs are you planning in using?

for midly upgrades stock is fine

and yes, titanium retainers work break, but have to be changed like every 10-20k miles since they gal
