I tried the B4 rear hubs on the stock rear arms with the wheel spacers and I pulled them off later that day. I didn't like that combo. I was much happier with using the stock rear end with the B44 rear cva's and bearings but with the Thunder Tiger rear wheels. Now I'm running the longer RPM world's rear arms on the stock arm mounts with the stock hubs but with B44 cva's and flanged bearings, along with the wheel spacers and it's perfect. I originally ran the same front combo as you but have since gone to the RPM world's front arms. I still use the B4 steering parts and wide GT axles though. It just got too hard to find good 2.0 tires. Now that I've gone 2.2 with modern electronics, I'm never going back!

Red: Metalic red from Pactra. I applied it heavier in the front than the back. That way when I backed it with black the red gets darker towards the back for a subtle color effect).
White: Pactra Pearl white backed with racing white.

The richness of these colors and the metallic/pearl look don't show up in the iPhone photos. Maybe one day it will get a studio session with the 5D and lights.
