if you have a smash you want the wishbone to bend not the chassis. stainless is also more likely to fatigue and fail due to its hardness.
if I wanted shiny wishbones i would make them in mild steel and get them electro plated.
personally i wouldnt touch the zero kit. there are a lot of aspects to its design and construction that i dont like. the advantage with the haynes is that it was designed by martin kenan (MK) and chris gibbs. and if there is anything i dont like about the design i can change it during the build.
if i was to buy a 7 style kit it would be an indy R closely followed by an mnr vortex rt.
if you would like me to go into the bits i dont like about the zero then just ask.
