finally got a chance to due a rebuild on my B4.X

Added in the RPM A-arms.



First impression is that they are pretty rigid considering they are from RPM. reminds me of how the SC10 4x4 RPM a-arms are.

They are also pretty beefy, which is to be expected:









Thickness of the bulkheads are similar, with the RPM one not using the alloy hingepin brace.

Weight, the RPM stuff is heavier:





Here are pics of the a-arms mounted:










The part that I don't like are the screws used to retain the hingepins:



Considering the car uses all hex screws, it would have made sence to use a hex screw.

Other than that, I think these should really help with durability on the front end, and to boot it seems like there is less slop than what I remember on building new Bulkhead to a-arm assembly.
