Default RB6 front suspension mounting block?

Hi,

does anyone make an alloy or brass front suspension block for the RB6. The plastic ones just seem to bend up over time.

For reference im on about these

I'd rather the plastic one bend (which I have heated up and bent back) than snapping wishbones/hingpins/etc.

I've been running the avid alu one for a while now, no broken wishbones or hinge pins so far, makes the front end feel very precise imho and I would recommend it as a fit and forget piece rather than worrying about the plastic piece deforming

Good to hear, only problem is they are out of stock

An alloy one makes the car very sharp and sometimes too sharp. In my opinion it also loses steering.
I agree with you the plastic does move around a little - my tip is use a longer screw but don't over tighten them

I must admit that I borrowed an alloy one to trial and didn't buy one. Personally I agree with Tony on this one.
