A friend of mine in the UK sent me these pictures and they are a good reminder to inspect your uprights.  The recommended inspection interval varies depending on which model you have, but you can find the recommended interval in the owners manual for your car.  You can see the owners manuals in the "Resource Library".    The Recommended inspection interval for the SR3 is ~50 hours.  Please note that the inspection interval should be decreased (inspect more often) if you aggressively attack the curbs.  

Here are some pictures of an RSX Spyder upright that shows what is possible.

There must be some more photos of the collateral damage!

I'm sure there was more damage, but these are the only pictures they sent me.

Yes, the SR8 parts are different from SR3. For the SR8 the fronts are $1,241.24 and rear are $1,669.35.  Give Spring Mountain a call if you need a set and let them know you are supporting them because they are a Registry sponsor.  🙂
