Some downside to expensive titanium bolts is that if you ever plan to use spacers you'll need longer bolts and then you'll have these laying around collecting dust...like I do.

I love the Poggipolini (which I have) but the special tool required has proven to be a PITA when it comes time for tech inspection and the inspector can't check your bolt torque because you forgot to bring the tool.

The special tool is just an extra large torx socket (maybe 57 or higher, can't remember but I think it's marked on the tool). I bought an extra socket at Sears and carry it in the car.

Mine is a T70 on a 1/2" drive. You're right, you only have to forget it once.
