no used one myself, i stick to the standard one cheap enough and although iv broken two i dont really feel the need to go for the kevlar one,
Also if you make one part of the chassis stronger there is a chance that on a big impact that something else will have to give.

I use them on my 2wd and truck I highly recommend them. It's true they are stronger with less flex, I felt it tamed the front of the car and made the steering more responsive like the carbon shock towers do. I also have not had any breakages since.

I also change the screws I use to mount it and the front brace mount to the chassis. Kit is 10mm top and bottom. I use 15mm top (trim to 14mm) and 8mm bottom. This fits perfect and puts extra support in the chassis where sometimes it's broken as well.

I used it at the World Champs in Finnland.

In 14 runs only one broken at the big jumps.

Its kevlar without fibre, so its very flexy.

One Tip:

precut a thread in the chassis (Take some oil). And take 2mm longer screws. I used all titan screws from lunsford. Works excellent

Hey stumpy!

It depends where and when are you are driving.

In cold days (about 5-10 °C) the standard will break easier-> Thats a problem in winter indoor for sure. if you drive at cactus classic or in summer events the chance of breaking the chassis is less.
