Use the right ones, or the carbon-fiber chassis can delaminate under stress.
I always had difficulty getting sufficient ride height with very small tires when using the old school suspension. Speed Merchant offers old school arms that have been machined down to fix this (as well as giving correct camber and caster angles, since the arms tend to be warped coming out of the mold).
I've just been using the kit screws. I've seen the speed merchant arms and thought about it. Issue is i was going through them so fast because i'm an utter failure as a driver that I didn't want to spend $10 each vs. $3 each.
