Hi all.. I was wondering if anybody could give me input on aluminum parts vs. graphite. I was thinking I'd do the towers in aluminum and graphite on most other little parts, such as the suspension pin holders etc.

Aluminium Shock towers is a good choice(Get the thicker ones like 3racing). Carbon fibre ones will just crack.

Stick with the stock steel suspension pins holder; the carbon fiber or aluminium ones wear out very quickly.

Replace the dogbones with CVDs for a smoother ride.

Thanks - yea, I figured I'd do the CVD's when these die, and probably use Sullivan's Dry Ice lubricant. Anybody here used it? It looks like an awesome product...
