Titanium turnbuckles are the only aftermarket part I have on my D413.

You could use the same ballc cups, but you would have to be careful to make sure to keep the oreintation of the titanium turnbuckles the same as the stock turnbuckles. You don't want to thread a ball cup with left hand threads onto the right handed threads of the titanium turnbuckle. The smart way to set up turnbuckles is so that they all shorten when you turn them the same direction. It makes adjusting the car easier.
