You guys can get the spring steel t-bars from IRS. He has them on his website. As far as the breaking goes there has been a few that have been broken but, it is like most crashes something has to give. Most of the people running it seem to really like it. Please let me know if anyone else needs more info.

I've been running the Silva spring steel t-plate for the last two weeks. It's more durable and a lot more consistent then fiberglass t-plates. For the people that haven't seen or felt one on a car... the spring steel t-plate has the side-to-side stiffness of a .075 fiberglass t-plate and the foward-to-back stiffness of a .063 fiberglass t-plate. The side-to-side stiffness really helps the car steer into the corner well and the softer foward-to-back stiffness gives more forward traction in the center and exit of the turn.
