Default Been tempted by the dark side.

Hiya folks i'm kinda looking for a little advice.

My original plan for getting into a kitcar was to build a 'book special roadster' but after a trip to the newark show with a mate with an MK indy, and meeting up with all the robin hood boys, i was kinda swaying toward one of there zero kits.
But dont worry, i'm leaning back to a roadster again (dont like the shape of the zero froint wishbones)

Anywho, my main question is. What are peoples thoughts on stainless seamless tube for the wishbones?
I've been looking at the armoto jig blocks, and where i work i do a fair bit of stainless and alu TIGing and we have a fair few 'proper' welders.
I know its obviously more brittle than mild but i'm wondering A) if there is a grade that will be a little more flexible without rusting. B) what sort of stresses the wishbone are actually subjected to. ie how over enginered are they?

Any idea, views, insights, sujestions, pointers etc much apprieciated.

Cheers
Chris.
