Idk...the plastic is an excellent design, it just has a life limit. If Ford made the plastic strickly for the ports and aluminum strickly for the coolant it would work out great, but no...they had to put plastic under the aluminum crossover. I suppose their had to be a limit to kill the engine some how.

I can understand that yes it will not suffer from heat as bad and of course its lighterbut just as you said that no matter how good of a composite they use it will not last as long as aluminum.

I wouldn't use that garbage, the stock pi is fine, composite will get brittle but thats the least of your worries. Use the pi and be done. Best power, weight for the price.

Cool, which one are you getting the bare aluminum or the polished one? Keep us updated on fitment and quality if you could. Pictures would be awesome too.

Stop buying the really hot expensive hookers. Stick with the $2 Ho's and you can still buy parts for the Mustang!

15-20 year old cars now so you will have to replace stuff. Nice part is the parts are still decent priced and most stuff can be done in the driveway.

You have stock Kmember or was there an aftermarket that was bent up?

There are a few aftermarket that are cheap and work with the stock A arms to save money.
