txblueshee Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'm going to have right at 425$ to spend on a-arms tonight b/c I just got through digging a MEAN ASS trench for the farmer down the road (in case your wondering 100ft. long 1.5deep/wide). I sold my ps2 also so between the 2 of them I have 425-450$, I'm looking for a set of a-arms on ebay (new/used don't matter). I stumbled across the wicked products a-arms... THESE any good?? Or should I just scrape some more cash and get some new quicksands, ricky stator's or jdperforance(whats there site url??). Any info is greatly appreciated, I would like to do it right the first time. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbilabuc Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 theres a guy on there right now with 3 sets of ASR arms for 299$ buy it now. you can usually get a lot of arms for average of 350-375 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I was never crazy about buying shizzel on the computer, you never know if they are tweeked or not. I have a set from quicksand and love them. They are fully adjustable camber and castor for the same price most others are w/o the adjustability. I've never tried the others, but I like the workmanship, guarantee, and durabilitly of mine. I rolled my shee down a 80' packed loam hill @80 degree vertical incline w/ 3 jumps on it. Didn't bend the arms one bit.... I put my shizzel to the true test..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I've heard bad stuff about lower-end asr arms(powdercoat coming off, BREAKING at the ball joints and just cheaply made). I appreciate every bit of info I can get, and hearing "real world" test is some of the best info ever. I REALLY like those quicksands, but I sure as hell ain't gettin chrome.

Banchetta Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I've got just powdercoated and so far they haven't started peeling yet. I've only had them about 4 months though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Banchetta, I was refering to the ASR sport star (300$) arms about the PC coming off. I've just read/been told that they are cheaply made, the higher end ones might be better. The pro-stars are .95''thick and made outa that 1030(??) chromoly, which is EXCACTLY like the jannsen's. I really like the way the quicksand arms look WELL built, as it looks now i'll prolly end up going w/ those or the ricky stators.

txblueshee Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Maybe ASR got tired of complaints and started producing them better?? Like I said, I've never witnessed this first hand...nor do I want to. Evil, If I get them bare metal... will it look like shiz??

evil Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 it will just be bare metal. i got them bare because i powder coat so there was no need to spend the extra money on it. you can have them done in clear powder if you like the look of raw metal, i did a ton of clear on a few trick xr50's. i like the look my self. later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemical Castration Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I havent heard too much about the wicked arms but they do look strong. I would definately go with quicksand though. Arms are stylin and strong, plus gary is a kick ass guy who would go out of his way to help you out with any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
