263g for 450lb/in 57mm. DSP, but they only make motorcycle stuff now.

Should be undersprung for me by at least 50lb/in but seems fine, so...

Ah I used to have a dsp back in the day!
Its seems no one is really making proper ti springs for mtb any more.
Theres a Taiwanese company doing them on ebay but they seem to have a high coil count compared to the wider spaced stuff like dsp and don't have a huge weight saving.
Part of the appeal of Ti for me was that wider gap between the coils.

Yeah, the eBay ti doesn't appeal. If this one hadn't come with the shock I wouldn't have bothered and just got an Öhlins spring, but it's nice that I don't have to paint over the stupid yellow colour

A higher grade stainless spring should/could be lighter than a Ti one, which is probably why they're not so common these days.

@TvH which size shock are you running?
