Dumb question, which material is more sturdy? The material used to make stillen bumpers or frp? And why?

martin82 · 06-27-2012, 05:15 PM

stillen bumper is made of urathane vs FRP/Fiberglass. The frp/fiberglass pretty much has no flex, it will just crack/shatter when hit, vs urathane is very flexible (sometimes it sags).

So far no issues with my stillen one, I will have my track testing this weekend at laguna seca I will report back.

Poly:- somewhat heavy, bends and flexes instead of breaking,

Fiberglass: possibly the lightest depending on how thick, cracks, chips, breaks, expensive to have a shop fix it. But pretty sturdy also.

Looks like this idea is gaining popularity

I was shocked. Do the stock ones not work with this clip? You can have mine if you pay for shipping.
