Does anyone know if there is a composite material for wich you could design into an A-arm for a baja vehicle? I am using double A-arms on the front suspension and I would like to change the upper A-arm to a lighter, but very durable material. The lower A-arm is 4130 Chromoly steel.

Any suggestions what to use?

Thanks!! My website:
