Is it possable to buy uprated Apex/Corner/side seal springs?

I am rebuilding my engine at the moment and have read that the Apex Springs them can make a big diffrence in the performance of a Turbo'd engine.

Cheers

Umm not quite, there is a step above the production FD springs availabe now that are mazda springs.. I am this close "" to having the part number and being able to get a set...

Here is a pic of the Hi-po mazda corner seal compared to the production seal, assembling a motor with the full seal set right now.

production on left, Hipo on right..

I am not sure what the metal is, we'd have to ask Mazda and see if they would tell us..All this stuff goes in at stock clearances..I just know that this is the stuff to use for a long lasting hi hp motors, from my time in Japan...
