Was chatting with Andy Griff tonite at our local club and he mentioned the front shock towers being a bit of a weak point, is there an after market hop-up for these?
Good question, not sure if they are generally weak but I did bend one at Neo. If your runing stock bits then I think its mroe liekly you'll bend the screws that the top of the shock mount to than the tower itself, I run the new hardened screws and I think that may lead to more strain on the tower....can send you part numbers for those hardened screws if you want?

The tower is 3.5mm where the shock screw goes in, I know someone who's willing to look at making a carbon one but just not sure 3.5mm is thick enough carbon??

Welcome to the car by the way, what series/races are you loking to run!

Oh, and don't let Griff convince you to run yellow wheels
