I am sure I read somewhere they are like butter, you just need to lean on them and they bend.

If you are going to do an AF later on, I wouldn't worry about that sort of stuff and save your money for when you do the AF. :wink:

yeah ive heard that too. but ive also heard of some people saying they had no trouble. ive just found out they make square section alloy ones(which must be stronger than the old circular tubes) so seein if anyone had tried them.i think im gonna keep the steely,ive got it runnin really sweet so i was hooping to drop a couple of kgs by doin the subframe change over is all. but looks like its not common thing to do.
