I'll see how the carbon suspension mounts stand up to my driving, I dont want to spend a lot on aluminum mounts and then have them messed up. Of course not having 45mph crashes into fixed objects might help some too
My front suspension mount (behind the bumper) has broken twice so far on the track. Both times it was due to head on collisions. The first was the stock plastic mount, the second was the carbon reinforced mount - So my latest purchase was the aluminum mount. Hopefully this will do the trick.

On the plus side; no other parts were affected or damaged when the suspension mounts broke

I almost lost a stock suspension ball after the last crash. Amazingly, I was able to find it on the dirt track. Talk about needle in a haystack.
