Bro the stock plastic ones are just fine. I hit a car doing about 45 and destroyed the shocks but the shock tower is fine. What are you doing to bend them?

guess that's a bonus to an 8 shock setup the force is distributed equally on both sides of the tower so it won't bend like that

Im thinking about mounting the shock on the back side of the tower. This way it will help prevent bent shocks and should help with the bending of the tower. My only concern is the steering linkage being in the way with the BB
