Hi Gaz, The Vampire alloy rear block WILL lead to the bending of rear pins sadly, we either have "bling and bend" or "boring and straight(er)" sadly.

The standard kit hing pins are titanium and £3.39 or we do make some "DDP" hardened steel ones but I dont fully reccomend these.
1. They are quite expensive sadly - £12.59 per pair and 2. They wont bend but in a BIG crash they will SNAP, personnaly I would rather have one just bend instead of break altogether.....

The rest of the car has been made fairly tough the hinge pins are one of the few "consumables" we tend to get through regular on the car though.

DDP021 is the part number, we have none in stock at present ourselves, but you may well find some available from any one of our "X-Factory UK" dealers who has had them recently of us....
