Carbon seals are for n/a motors only, they can't handle any boost. So I don't know if I would call them 'stronger' They are lighter and I believe have less friction then stock seals.
Racing Beat will tell you that the carbon seals don't seal well at low rpm, some people here have had good results with them at lower rpm.
Bottom line imo, street car street seals.

well there you go...theres alot of companys out there though that make aftermarket seals. banzai racing for example, but racing beat is a good reputable company also so its a matter of options thats all. dont overcomplicate things basically...
