The ones DMS have certainly have the new hinge pins, yes.
IMHO there are no "must have" hop ups, though you may want to consider the e-speed hangers and t-piece (gearbox brace)
If you have a B4 then everything you need to complete the conversion is in the kit X factory kit

The New Math has never had a hinge pin "problem" that needed to be "sorted." The original toe-in bars and hinge pins worked flawlessly on the X - 6, and still do. To this day Paul prefers the "original" toe-in bars and hinge pins on his ride.
When we began working with the X - 60, we needed to beef up the bars. The longer control arms of the truck plus much heavier tires puts significant additional stress on the hinge pin area, so we added material to the bars and length to the pins making the pins fit further back in the bars. More pin-to-bar contact area to spread the stress.
Toe-in bars and hinge pins are two of the parts that are identical in the 6 and 60, so about 6 months ago when we needed to produce more bars for the 6 we changed these parts. This has given the Boyz time to test the new parts on their trucks, and all is well.
We make running changes constantly to assure you always get the very latest parts in our Kits. As was stated above, all Kits have included the new 2.350" pins and toe-in bars for quite some time. No Kits with "old" parts should remain on a model shop shelf in U.K. at this time.
