That's why I'm moving to the CF ones. If you don't like the look, paint them. But they have the strength and they don't bend!
Are you serious? These are 6mm thick 7076 T6 aluminum and every bit a heavy duty as 1/8 machined aluminum shock towers. How the heck would the bend? I think the chassis would break in half before the tower bend. Just saying.....
