The B4 CVDs are longer. They hubs and arms reach farther into the B4 rear wheels. This gives the car more stability and forward bite in the rear compared to the B3.
CVDs by nature try to straighten out when power is applied to them. This in turn will put pressure on the rear tires. With the CVD joint closer to the center line of the rim, this helps plant the rear accelerating out of the turns.

So true about improved forward traction with Cvd`s
Problem with however is when the car is in a sharp turn the CvD also straightens out when on the power & makes the car hook or square hard....

As far as I know the gold ones are titanium nitride coated and just last longer and are supposed to be a lil smoother so you should be fine.

I was under the impression that the B4 is different in almost every way. Including the width of the supspension parts.
Here's some MIP CVDs for the B3. http://www.rcplanet.com/MIP_Shiny_CVD_Kit_p/mip1198.htm

Don`t use tools to tighten the shock cap`s , just hand tight...

Me too i get the same problem with the shocks over and over. Either the rod wont go up all the way or it will go up all the way but will barely come back out.

proper shock rebound is about a 1/4 to 3/8 inch....

The arms, caster blocks and steering spindles are all you really need, you can use the shock tower too, but the ballstud mount is either .030 or .060 lower. The outside hinge pin will have to be cut down, or just buy the outer&kingpin set, the kingpin is the right size.
