Probably much stronger & less likely to bend. Of course the only blocks I've ever seen bend are the ones towards the rear of the car on both the front & rear suspension. Probably not worth the extra cost for the front of the rear suspension.

TC crashes typically are in the forward direction. This is why the rearward blocks get damaged. Because the suspension is being pushed back the wall. The arm, hinge-pin & rearward block absorb the impact...
