Default damper angles

hi, i´ve reacently done the first of three tests on my build & at first the examiner saied that it looked good & had no rermarks but after talking to someof the other examiners it was dicided that the front suspension is according to them WORTHLESS
*25x2mm tubes in the front lower wishbones is too weak with pinto motor!
*damper angel must not be greater than 35 deg.
*lower damper bracket too weak & too far from the uppright.
*upper damper bracket should be moved out to get a better angel.
*back damper angel is to big ,damper bracket should be moved out.
i have done everything exactly as in the book but it appears the examiners here dont think its good enough what can i say,heads upp to anyone building in SWEDEN.
i have started on new 25x3mm front lower wishbones but i dont know what or if i could change the angels on the dampers ,could i just move the brackets out? anyone have any sugestions or ideas?
wuold moving the brackets out effect the hight......?
thankfull for any help
samy
