Forged vs. billet?
Hi again!
I've been noticing some billet upper and lowers lately and I'm curious as to what you get with them that you don't already get with a forged set. I understand that they are a little bit heavier than their forged counter parts. I'm not too concerned about weight though. I also hear they flex less. Does that improve accuracy at all? Is there a benefit to the stiffer upper and lower? Any draw backs to them?
I would appreciate anyones thought on this regarding pros and cons. It seems that this is more of a personal preference than anything else but I am curious as to what more experienced minds think.
I like having gear that is distinctly different when I can afford it and the Spike's billet set appeals to me for that reason.
