RE: questions about the stage d convertion
ok no aluminum, if you have already broken something that means you have done something the car is not designed for, snapping plastic arms are cheap to replace, aluminum IS NOT more durable, once you smack something, it either bend and you wanted $20 on one part, or it transfers that energy onto something else like a bulkhead, and if the bulkhead doesnt go, it can bend your chassis, so basically, stick with plastic, and what parts are you asking if they will fit the stage D kit? there are alot fo thigns changed so we cant just say yes or no, a mjority are the same but some arent

RE: questions about the stage d convertion
yeah true will bend the chasis and stuff but those suspensions arms are too cheap x_x im thinking of putting the suspensions arms of aluminium for now
but other parts i wanted to put aluminum prob the front bumber and the front/back shock mount i know i understand that if i crash it will bend and prob damage another part but oh well

RE: questions about the stage d convertion
noobs dont usually listen to this and then they break sometihng else, the suspension parts do not need to be aluminum, if the plastic breaks it means you need to not hit stuff and learn to know your limit, it sounds kinda rude the way im putting it but the plastic is there for a reason, also am aluminum bumped is a bad idea, that is the only place on the car where it needs something that will break in case of a crash, i knwo you are thinking plastic is cheaper and if i crash with aluminum i will break more stuff, well, since you are already breaking plastic, you will spend alot more money on fixing stuff once you have aluminum, aluminum arms are say $25, plastic is $6, even if you break the plastics once you still have spent only a fraction of the aluminum, hard crash, aluminum bumper doesnt give, that bends the chassis ($25-30) new aluminum arms $25 new bulhead which you will make aluminum $14, so really, plastic is the better idea

RE: questions about the stage d convertion
not only that, but plastic is lighter too, also, did you want to know if anything specific still fits the stage d? from what i know, the things changed are the chassis, engine position, tranny position, and special center driveshafts
