The powerful number eight and the emerging lock have finalised a deal to stay in Canberra for at least the next two Super Rugby seasons.
The Brumbies could also be bolstered by more signings in the coming weeks as coach Stephen Larkham wants to keep his squad largely intact beyond this year's World Cup.
Vaea's amazing story is one of the best comebacks in Super Rigby history.
The 26-year-old was told he would never play rugby again when doctors found blood clots in his heart in 2012.
It immediately forced Vaea to put his career on hold as he was put on blood thinning medication to prevent a stroke or death.
Had Vaea continued playing, he could have died during a game.
He put on more than 20 kilograms in his two-year absence but was cleared to return to playing for the Gungahlin Eagles last year.
An injury to Fotu Auelua opened the door for Vaea to make a shock return this season, and the blockbusting forward has played every game in 2015.
Larkham believes Vaea can play for the Wallabies in the future, but Vaea is simply happy to be on the field again after recovering from his heart condition.
Second-row giant Arnold has been one of the finds of the season after the Brumbies plucked him from obscurity this year.
The 209-centimetre lock is touted as a Wallabies World Cup bolter and will stay with the Brumbies until at least the end of the 2017 season.
The Brumbies play the Free State Cheetahs in Canberra on Saturday night and Larkham will have to find a way to squeeze David Pocock into the back row.
Vaea and Jarrad Butler have formed a solid combination in Pocock's absence but the former Wallabies skipper's return from an ankle injury could force Vaea or Butler to the bench.
