Also, stay away from the aluminum shock towers. First off, they bend when taking some good tumbles. Second, they also will lead to you breaking your diffs that they mount to. I've learned the hard way, there's certain areas that you don't want aluminum pieces unless your car was designed for it. Also stay away from Aluminum arms and go with the RPM ones.
OK Thanks for the tip! How do you (or anybody) feel about the Tekno ft/rear driveshafts,steering blocks,hub carriers?-all 6mm
