Sorry if this has been covered but I am a bit confused on the front arms for these new cars. The pictures show the mid car to have "gull wing" arms and the rear car to have straight arms. In looking at the parts lists there are 2 different front arm parts (Part #: 91398 and Part #: 91526) plus the hard arm options. Can we assume this is a tuning option and the kits will come with both parts in each kit
On a side note, I hope the new 'hard' arms are tougher than what they made for B44 -- they snap like twigs. I like the American made graphite stuff mo' better.

As much as I like my centro, I am torn and will have to see the B5s killing them in the MM runs on our track before I go and get one. As far as the RM goes however, I will be selling and recycling some funds.

Question for the engineers.. Are the arms the same length as the B4? What about the distance between the inner hinge pins, narrower, wider, same?? Just curious.
#1192
The direct answer to the question as asked is most likely yes in all case since AE has essentially standardized their arm length and shock mounting points on the arms going back to the B3. However that doesn't mean that a heftier new arm will have the clearance to mount to a B4 bulkhead or that the hinge pin sizes are the same. They could all technically be the same in regards to those arm dimensions but still not fit.

Clearance issues are easily mitigated with a light touch of the dremel. It would be sweet to see some of the new gullwing arms on a B4. The only thing that might complicate the experiment would be if the B4 caster block will fit? Isnt that an area that got a major facelift?

... thats extremely vague and generic... under what conditions with who driving? I think the c4.2 is doing pretty well... your signature would lead one to believe that you are biased against centros

to me, the b5 Rm looks just like a b4 with metric hardware and a revised chassis. Plastic probably too. Of course the MM has new stuff in it. I think the geometry are about the same with improvements to tuning options. but, hey I and going off the pics, as I dont have a car yet.
