Hi,
We always suggest non alloy arms and shock towers because in a crash the stock plastic arms and towers will absorb the impact whereas alloy parts cannot and will direct the force impact into the hinge pin holders and nylon bulkhead which can rip apart. It's just a precaution though.
The stock kit rear toe is 2.5 degrees. Good for rear on power traction.
Thanks for your support!
