I like the durability of the spring steel plate, but what I didn't like was the consistancy. I run stock with all 3 screws in the t-plate with the medium and medium stiff ss bar and the car was more consistant lap after lap with the fiberglass. I could turn some faster laptimes with the medium-firm bar though.
What I also noticed is that I left a couple of spare ones in my glove box and they rusted. That made for an interesting look.
It's still up in the air, but I only broke 2 fiberglass t-plates this season so far and the ss plate is around $30. I raced at least 2-3 times a week and practiced 2 days a week so there was a lot of running on those plates.
