Actually guys I have to say that I 100% agree with him on that...I have alum arms only when I run onroad, but when I go off road i chnge alot of things to accomodate the give in the whole line. Plastic arms are lighter, cheaper to replace and are better to bash with as when you bend an A-arm, its buggered until you either bend it back (by which time its stretched and its strength is gone) and then its easier to replace a platic part.
On raod i use teh alum A-arms to give more weight on the front as well as hump pack to keep the front weighted down...I use it for the lights too.
Use the plastic and a combination of alum, CF and plastic in the strategic areas that will benefit either bashing or race - the two are totally different though.
Anyway MTNitronut, here is a link to some great parts...some are great, some are good and some are GPM. The GPM piggy back shocks though are good, and some of the other stuff is just heavy weak crap...but have a look though. The Hot Racing stuff is very good. Ill post a link later when I find it to some VERY good billet C-cups and other nescessery parts for alum.
