Just came back from the LHS and they had a bunch of vintage rc10gt & rc10t carbon fiber and graphite front and rear shock towers. I asked the owner what the difference was and he couldn't give me a solid answer. Anyone know? Are they better than the original fiberglass?

graphite is stiffer/stronger and lighter than fiberglass

no, they just started using black fiberglass instead of the usual greenish stuff at a certain point.
