they would make the car stiffer, altering the handling. Also using these you have the possibility of them bending and not noticing, drasticaly changing the car. I personally would stick with the stock plastic, that way you would know if it has took a hard enough knock to break/bend something.
Hope this makes sense

3Racing stuff is great, when they design their own items, when they just make an alloy version of a stock part, it is normally machined with all the slop in there too.

Plus, you will bend a wishbone, or transfer any breakages inboard.... leave well alone.
