I'm not sure of the advantage of instaling carbon towers...I've got two bmax4s (yes they are that good!) and neither have broken a stock tower yet. The cars are renowned for durability. The only part so far I've had to replace outright was a rear turnbuckle link/end. From what I remember the stock ends are designed with a bend which could be a weak point, but I think this has been rectified in the newer models (correct me if I'm wrong here guys!). Although yokomo parts aren't easy to get I'm sure the stock towers would be easier to find than carbon ones and it would make economic sense.
Shock wise I've always used big bores and now most of my cars have them as standard! But I'm sure with proper tweaking you can still achieve an excellent setup. See the petit.com setup guides.
