This is a great option, I prefer them in the "raw" S.S. look, but if you want to have them powdercoated or paint them before installation to color match your vehicle or scheme of the car these are the ticket!

Wow thanks for abusing our relationship Matt and leaking this pics

Thanks for the props. We are constantly refining our products and this is a awesome upgrade.

The 304 stainless we spec for this application is entirely overkill. The material properties compared to the mild steel we constructed the design out of before sees the new 304 design being close to 50% stronger than before, so you can continue to drive assured with Pfadt!

Have you found the OEM links to fail? I beat mine pretty hard and have not seen any sign of track trauma

Got to disagree with you on this one. You ever try to grind or drill through stainless steel? It's definitely NOT softer then mild steel

well...I know what 429 is saying...I know from gun barrells that I've read the stainless barrells aren't as strong as a 4130 barrell.

Try and sharpen a carbon blade and then try a stainless blade. The stainless is WAY harder then carbon (mild) steel. Compare drilling, cutting, sharpening, and bending stainless to mild steel..... each is more difficult with stainless, so how can it be "softer"?

By the way, I work with steel for a living!

cool. I was just saying what I knew from gun stuff. I trust Pfadt and Matt@FSP.

4150 is there it's at!

Some sat the stainless barrels are more accurate because the stainless is stiffer than steel.
