??? They didn't sell me any piece. I opted for the graphite one from kawahara (@nitrohouse) rather than the alloy skyline one from brooklynhobbies. Yes alloy is stiffer than the graphite but I wanted something that will hold but will have the chance to flex back when hit. Have you seen how alloy parts hold up if you hit or side-swipe something? I made the mistake of getting alloy arms for my NTC3 once -- big mistake. I've decided that any outer parts for my cars should be stock (usually plastic) or graphite. They are lighter and I don't need any impact I get transferred to the parts in the center of the chassis where it is harder to fix. Plus they are cheaper also.
