But for the answer you are after yes it will survive the majority of the crashes without bending until you hit a wall at full speed with a high powered motor.

they will fit your car
they will bend
they will look nice
they are heavier
they will mark up when damaged
they will not make you go quicker though

I've tested my Evo V last weekend, the car went very well with (almost) the standard setup. Had some small problems with the ball cups (they went loose), but after 2 batteries my front bevel was already destroyed, maybe after a hit.. or I just shimmed it not good enough. But I'm already faster with this car then my Mission 2, i really like this car
