Carbon fiber rods.

Anyone ever try using this as a hinge pin?

Pretty cool if you are a highly skilled driver. Definitely something to stay away from for bashing though.

Ti is the best but obviously the most expensive for this application. C.F. is excellent for shock towers and such. It does not bend like al. does and weighs less.
