The arms you listed are actually really nice arms. Associated makes a carbon that's on their factory team stuff that holds up well and is very ligthweight, and the plastics that they have are nice too.

that was a bad copy/paste, those arms are actually the RPM arms, sorry. But now I'm going to have to see those CF arms, LOL. Thanks Charlie...it's all your fault!

It's carbon, not carbon fiber. In fact, one of our members that was new to RC went through this long spill with Associated because it said carbon parts on the box but it was all plastic. The carbon is more like plastic than carbon fiber, it's a gray color, and it's what they run on their factory team kits. I'm pretty sure RPM makes the arms for the GT2 because I was going to adapt them to fit on my T4. Anyway, the carbon stuff that associated makes is really good stuff, pretty durable and very lightweight. See if they make them for your application, if not go with RPM.

I just received my RPM A-Arms front and rear from Tower the other day, man they seem a lot stonger than the stock ones. Also I already had the front bumper from RPM, the thing is sweet, saved me a bunch of times when cart-wheeling or doing crazy nose dives. Just watch out when the track is fresh wet as the front bumper will pick up a massive amount of clay in the front is you crash. oh well

Thanks for the heads up. I have the skid plate but was also thinking of the 80045 Assoc. GT2, B4 & T4 Wide Front Bumper. Was hoping that it would help in the same case such as cart-wheels but not sure if it would be smart to use when at the track.
