yes you can. they are longer so it will act as a tunning tool. me myself will prob just get the soft ones and run them. ya they say for cold conditions? but i think they just corrected their first attempt and made one that will hold up. ive broke only 4 arms w/ about 10gal on my xb8. and they were in the cold cold. after i started heating them up, they didnt break. i think this summer either one will be good. and the new ones are supposed to have the droop mod done to them.
