Just wondering whether anyone here has installed the Vantage CF arms on their Savage. I have just installed them on my mine, and I was curious as to their durability...?
I haven't tried them but I am considering getting a set. They are damn expensive but they look awesome and I think they would be pretty strong. Vantage quality is about the best you will get.

Hypa, if you want to remove any slop in your suspension assembly, then I HIGHLY recommend these CF arms, the are also much lighter than alloy arms. Weight reduction in your suspension arms will make the rest of your suspension assembly work more effectively. Thus better handling! :)

Driveshafts for the Front, Rear, and Center assemblies are all GPM CVD Titanium Shafts.
Not only do they look good, they are incredibly strong, and transfer the power from the OS 30VG to the 40 series rims and tyres very well. These Titanium CVDs are great if you want to reduce any play in your driveline. :rolleyes:
I attached a pic, (..Top driveshaft is stock, bottom driveshaft is GPM Titanium shaft ). Notice the shaft thickness.
Lookin very good. Can't wait to see it complete.

thank's kev, I will check out the issue. :) I have just finished installing the Vantage CF arms to the front and rear end assemblies. In addition to the arm upgrade, I decided to replace all the hingepins in both assemblies with new GPM Titanium hinge pins. I also replaced all wheel hub bearings with automotive grade stainless steel shielded bearings, which are much better than the stock bearings. The upgrades have significantly reduced the overall weight of both the front and rear end. :)
Picture of completed front end assembly below.
