Just out of curiosity why did you go with the gpm shocks instead of the threaded losi's?
I seem to remember that quite a few of the plastic suspension parts were available in 3 variations, rtr/original kit, graphite, and ea3 materials. I tried graphite for a bit, but went with the original as it held up better to my less that stellar driving skills at the time. The ea3 material looks like a good option but I haven't tried it yet. I also found that the front arms came in two styles under the original p/n. The first was with a 'boss' around the inner hingepin and the second had a constant thickness. I would guess the second variation was rtr parts replacing the stock of kit parts as a running change . The rear upright ballstud was a trouble spot for me. I pulled it out of the upright on some pretty mild hits. I ended up using a ballstud with a longer thread than stock.
