I had a graphite front one, and it never broke, and graphite front wishbones, and they never broke either!
However...

It was probably the original one that came with the car, so it was at the time that they were being made PROPERLY!!!

you can mod your wishbones so they dont snap and X factory do that screw kit thing for the front hub that stops them snapping.

Parts availability was one reason I chose the b44. I was the sort that would always want 'something different' but that came at a price like parts unavailability and zero support. Also I have bought from manufacturers here today and gone tomorrow so that just made my stuff obsolete. The lesson I learned was 'buy the product that is most supported.'

If you dont mind ordering spare parts online then the sky's the limit.

Besides the b44 looks sexy.

for front tower i dont tap the hole si just simply use long ball studs and nortec small blue locknuts on the end so it spreads the force around so it reduces chance of breaking havent broken one since infact i havent broken any shock towers yet the only thing ive broken on my xx4 is front wishbones, front bulkheads and a front caster block. Other than that havent broken anything.
