   Basically, couple of saxo's me and my brother have owned and know people with them, the inner rear arches tend to bend. Would like to know what rally cars do to stop this? They get jumped often and tend to bend. Whats best to do about it?
   
   Cheers

   Not sure if that would actually help the arches bending out though

   the 106 saftey devices mounts pretty much above the bump stops it will as it puts more strength where the force is coming from with you jumping the car
