The SRE Industries A-arms are, in my opinion, the best thing you can do for your money. If you don�t want to dish out $600+ for a set of A-arms these are the best. The setup I chose to go with were the +2+1 (+2� wider, +1� forward) a-arms because it would lighten up the front end steering. SRE is a very good company to work with, they are very knowledgeable and are actually very quick to get the job done right. It took about 2 weeks for me to get mine back. The a-arms are actually the stock a-arms extended to the width needed. The first thing I noticed when I got them back was how beefy they looked. He had extended the tie rods, and the top and bottom a-arms. He can also powdercoat them for an extra $50. They have some negative camber just like all other aftermarket a-arms. The only serious requirement for longer a-arms is that you have to have aftermarket shocks to be able to take the extra leverage produced. Or if you already have aftermarket shocks they need to be re-valved in order to work correctly. Ride report: these work excellent around corners! The quad doesn�t feel tippy at all anymore. The suspension now has a little over 10� of wheel travel to work with so jumps, bumps, and whoops are taken with ease. The steering is also improved some due to the camber of the tires. The suspension does want to dive more in corners when you hit the front brakes hard however. Overall I would give them a very high approval rating. They are a very well priced modification that helps a ton in the handling department. S.R.E. Industries is located in Pennsylvania and you do have to pay for shipping to and from on top of the initial cost. I do not recommend this mod for trail riders or mud riders. The extra width leaves the tires sitting outside the fenders and you will get caked with mud, and it also makes tight trails impossible. If you are a motocrosser though, you can take turns twice as fast as a normal blaster without as much effort.
Cost: +2�+1� (wider/forward) = $210.00
+2� (wider) = $195.00 |
