readme what a-arms?

Gettin ready to buy some a-arms for 03 banshee.
I do aggressive play ridding and arenacross so I'm getting
1"fwd and 2"out but not sure of bang for buck.I like american star racing for the price but dont know any one who has them.
I can get some discount at lone star but they still cost more for same options(camber/caster adj.)
ANY IDEAS??

Best a-arms out there are Lonestar Racing A-arms, but are a fortune. Houser makes a good product as well, One more respectable company is Burgard. Other companies who make a-arms are, ugly, armadillo, ASR (american star), wicked products and Strong Arm. You can normally find a good price on a-arms on Ebay. Make sure when you change your a-arms that you also get the appropriate shocks as well, if you dont already have them. +2 arms will make the stock shocks feel very, very soft.

I agree that Lonestar, Laeger and Burgard are the best.
American Star also appears to make a good product for a reasonable price compared to the others.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Sorry guys roll design is actualy the best then lonestar,leager ect.
My question is who's got what, and do they like them?
I cant afford RollDesign. I can get lonestar rec. A-arms for same price as full race ASR A-arms.
So does any one know how good the ASR A-arms are?
Shocks are not an issue getting elka's

I was a dealer for ASR for a while as they are a local Utah company here. I know they have the best warranty in the business. I have heard some negative feedback on some boards about them, yet nobody has ever been able to give a real reason as to why. I think they're they best bang for your buck. That's probably what I'll get when I have the money to widen my ATV.

i would try to send an e-mail to Dirt Wheels. they could probably find out who has them for you. as for price, just a quick question, are you willing to sacrafice $ for ability? Leager, IMS, LSR, they are all real good and have from what i have seen some of the best results. Doug Gust used a set of arms from some company, dont remember the name, but take a look at his site [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] look around in there and you will find them. he said they were real good and sturdy along with a good price range. just a thought fer ya as for having the plus 1 forward, i dont know if i would do that while racing arena cross, some of them whoops(as i am sure you are aware) are pretty hecktic on front ends. i would feel safer having them right under the shock towers. but with you having the experiance there, you know more then me LOL

I'm leening towards ASR a-arms seems to be the best bang for buck.

Best a-arms are Walsh,Roll,lonestar,burgard. In that order. I have never used asr's bur have heard that they are cheap and not that great. Not in the same catagory as the previosly listed. If you end up going with them good luck

While they are probably not the same caliber of the ones listed there, I still think the ASR's are hard to beat as they carry a lifetime warranty also.
