Aluminum graphite is way too brittle.
Sounds funny from me since I have bought a Kinwald and Francis and Never broke a part adn had them racing about 6 times but its the truth.

Get the graghite shock towers and get the graphite upper deck and save the alloy for a shelf queen.Alloy will add weight to your car and slow it down and in the event of a crash will bend and need to be replaced depending on the grade of alloy you buy.Graphite will also break but is much cheaper to replace and is allot lighter.Keep the plastic A-arms or up-grade to the plastic/graphite ones they sell.I still use the plastic a-arms and all the rest of the plastic parts on mine and see no reason to change them.

Hotbodies makes allot of stuff as well as HPI,GPM Wolfpack Radicals,New Era and a few others.IMO HPI makes the better quality hop ups for the RS4 3 SS.About 90% of the parts on my car are HPI hop ups with the exception of the engine and tuned pipe.HPI parts are inexpensive and are great quality.

As far as I know it will work on both.I'm using the 12r ss manifold on my fantom engine now so I'm alsmost positive the THS one will work fine.The Pipe itself should work with either engine it's the manifold that i'm not totally sure about.
