I am not going to say this is the reason for matte finish arm, but it is an advantage that it is this way.
I have never heard of carbon swelling, but it could be quite possible that some tolerances are slightly different on the older production of shock mounts and across the A-Arms. Get some material that is 0.1mm thicker and a mount that is 0.1mm narrower, and there can be some issues sometimes.( 0.1mm on all items is standard high-quality tolerance in our industry). I have some on my car and they were a bit tighter than the newest batch ones, but they still slide on.
Regardless, if the items you feel are bad, send them back and I will issue replacements so long as they have not been damaged.

I went through all the arms sent to me including the extra ones I bought and their measurements varies with ones as thick as 3mm and as thin as 2.8mm. At least its good to know its not a manufacturing problem.
Another thing while talking to Dave, how do we measure caster with this setup now? Before when using the AMX hubs we could easily mount the caster gauge, but now theres nothing to mount to.

Paragraph 6 on comment #546 of the GZ2 Thread explains how to measure caster on the new aluminum knuckles.

yes, the camber plates do work, but they are 1 pc. So when used with the low profile top deck, it must be spaced up 3mm or at least be combined with some of the Genesis Bulkead brace +1mm of shims. (this is probably the best plan of action.)
We don't have upgrade kits because we are out of hubs. But once we get more hubs in stock, we will make the upgrades available again. I know I have about 10 or so upgraded cars out there that use the new hubs, inset battery and all related parts.

I would re-phrase the “guesswork” statement though. The method we use with the threaded post on the knuckle while measuring with a camber gauge is usually pretty accurate.
