Don't you need to start with a complete cassette, so that when the
individual sprockets wear out you can replace them?  I don't think
they're meant to be replacement items for rehabilitating worn Shimano
cassettes.

Actually, given cost and availability, rather than rehabbing an 8,
wouldn't you be better off switching to 7 speed?

AFAIK the life span of Shimano Dura Ace cassetted with Ti sprockets is
dramatically shorter than steel Ultegra level cassettes.
