I say C4.1, as the shock is rear mounted meaning any flex should be in an antisquat angle - not a bad thing, can add stability if I am guessing rightly.

Whereas on a front mounted shock (B4/B4.1) the flex is in a pro-squat movement, and is a bad thing.. as long as im guessing rightly...
The graphite rear arms don't provide as much flex so will a)stop the driveshafts popping out, b)also make the rear end a bit more stiffer and give you a bit less side bite if required from what I've tried I think.

The standard non graphite arms provide more flex so more grip due to this but are prone sometimes to drives popping out due to this.

Only reasons bradders runs them from a chat a while ago with him.
Don't think there's any other reasons he gave me from memory
