Is it possible to replace Gara Titan WC titanium U-springs with the 4 mm or 4.5 mm steel ones to decrease the bindings' vertical release value?

What is the approximate release value of the titanium (wc) U-springs?

Thanks for the info, jbo. I was wandering about the pin flap. The thing is, I've had some mixed experience with Plum and I really like the Trab toe piece. And as said, I don't care much about the brakes at this point. I'll most likely just go with the no-brake version and add brakes in the future if it becomes a necessity.

1. Do these work with heel adjustment plates? If so, are any specific ones required (e.g. Hagan)? Or will any 25 mm wide rails do ( e.g. Kreuzspitze Universal)? 2. Is the brake binding exactly the same as the non-brake one + the brake? I mean, can the brakes be removed and the result will be the original non-brake heel piece? Dreaming a new ski setup here. I don't really desire the brakes but would like it to be future-proof in case the brakes requirement makes it to the "citizen racing". Thanks!

Jeff, Frankly, I'm not sure if I'm serious. It really feels like a bad idea to buy this kind of a boot without trying it on first. I'm certainly looking for a pair of race boots, although probably more in the workhorse rather than the thoroughbred category if you know what I mean. These are also a bit over what my intended budget was but then the price seems to be kind of acceptable for a pair of PG's. And I was talking S/lab Sense 8 and Pulsar (the latter being marginally too tight in the forefoot) if that...
