Status: offline 		I agree,the A-arms and everything attached to them and I wanna get the center bulkhead too but it's gonna be awhile on that,its $50.Oh,and the carbon shock towers..my stock ones are bent just from the weight of the car over time and I know those flex alot.

Status: offline 		yea the graphite shock towers are harder and flex alot less than the stock ones. and they weigh alot less. also another aluminum part i neglected to mention was the bearing steering set. the hot bodies one removes all slope out of your steering assembly for more consistent and precise steering. and by the way, it does require the bearings, they come with little white plastic bushings that don't really give you the whole effect of this hop-up.

Status: offline 		what size bearings would you need for em. or part number . i didnt know the steering set had a performance gain to them. im prolly gonna get them first out of the other hot body parts. n the shock tower are they more durable or equal to the stock ones

Status: offline 		the bearing steering set does have a performance gain especially at high speeds. it doesn't allow any play in the wheels which means no wobbling at any speeds. i'm not sure what size bearings they used my hobby guy just sized it right there when i bought it. and the shock towers i'll say that there rigidity is about the same (new)but the graphite retains it's rigidity longer than the stock plastic and use alot less material to attain the same rigidness. another benefit is they allow for way more shock mounting positions than the stock ones.

Status: offline 		About the GPM CVDs.....They are aweful. I bought a complete set of front, rear, and center cuz I got them for $30 and they are complete junk. The drive pin on the dogbone side keeps falling out of all of them and the rearcenter shaft was bent from the day they came out of the package. Stick with HPi or Mip.

Status: offline 		the drive pins fall out on all cvd's regardless of the maunufacturer it's the drivers fault though. in a rush to get the cvd's in they don't clean the area where the pin inserts completely and some even forget to add thread lock. during the manufacturing process oils and lubricants are sprayed from milling machines so as not to foul the bit that is cutting the metal. any one who has bought a new engine knows this so proper cleaning is required. and yea your lucky you only paid $30.

Status: offline 		i just used the engine as a reference cause they always have oil on them when first bought. but a new engine doesn't have to be cleaned of it's oil but cvd's do. thread lock won't grab right if theres any residue left on the metal where the pin threads in. but a new engine should be opened and checked when first purchased cause i found small metal shavings in my MT12 which could of caused some damage.
