i know u are not using them on the rear,
Once i put aluminum adapters on the rear with slicks they broke after 2 runs!
My friend(a machinist) made me steel ones that never broke.

Here's a pic:
Those look like cheapy cast aluminum parts. No wonder if you put those on a rear they would break.
The adapters that I got from VBP look like they were milled out of billet alluminum. MUCH stonger and beefier than those "things".
