Yes, the new rear shock towers are more sturdy. 3.5 mm thick.
The upper and lower bumper breaks apparently. I broke the lower bumper plate twice (both times hitting steel barriers trying to drive on a new track) and bent the upper bumper plate once in one of those times.
For me, the rear wishbone problem can be solved tentatively by using the longer steel pivot ball or by using shorter rear trackwidth which makes the stock pivot balls go in deeper.
I'm using the stock aluminum pivot balls in the rear and usign smaller rear trackwidth with no problems.
