We tore the end off the driver's rear toe link last year at Sandblast and had to weld repair it during service. Cost us almost a half hour on stage to ratchet strap it and limp our way into service.

We were going through rear diff mounts and cushions all the time until Xiii Motorsports sent us the poly mounts and solid diff cushion. We have not had any issues with that setup so far.

Overall the 165-185-205 shell is built very tough imo.

Last time I checked they were right around 6k for a set of DMS 50mm.

I would recommend JVAB 50mm if you are looking to buy new.
