Thanks for the reply... Informative. I assumed, for the sake of the response, that who so ever was making the things would know what they were doing, ie use whatever mil spec call out for shot peening Ti.

I will say, from shopping for Ti rods, that nobody anodizes and all do a plasma moly coating over the peening (no polishing anymore like the early factory rods). Currently, I am sitting on the fence about getting out the wallet for a set of rods from Crower. I have a buddy with a mud toy who used a set and loves them. They are twice as expensive as a steel paulter or carillo, but half as much as a paulter Ti and seem to do all the right stuff engineering wise (as best as I can tell from my limited experience/knowlage base).

It's only money right?
