Got the xray t4'15
Love the car, but wanting to change the screws to something that will stand out more
I have seen the hiro seiko screws, in Orange, and the hiro seiko screws in titanium
Also stainless sets
Is there a major difference, or worth the extra money

Avoid stainless, they're about half the strength of normal steel but just as heavy.

I personally avoid aluminium, as they're not much lighter than Ti but are much weaker and prone to rounding off.

I use a full Ti kit which saves around 20g, which can then be put back on as lead, and used to adjust the balance and lower the CoG. The hiro seiko stuff seems good quality.

Does it make a major difference? No, it's way down the list of recommended upgrades, especially on an Xray which is already under-weight.

Mine are mostly Mugen/Acer screws, as I bought them in bits and pieces and swapped them between cars (so they're pretty durable). Not the cheapest way to do it though I'm sure.
