KRMit Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 I should have enough money to order some arms next week. In my other post it was stated that there are better arms for the money than ASR. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm working with limited funds so the $400 tag is right around my price range. I want +2/+1. Quote
SICK BOY Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 I don't know about ASR,but if you can save another $100.00 you can get a set of Alba procomp +2/+1 arms.I bought mine last year for $500.00 ,and so far I love them. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 I'd have to say save $100 more and get Quicksands. Quote
checkster Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 chrome leager +2+1......$350 on ebay, never mounted up! check Quote
KRMit Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Posted January 27, 2005 chrome leager +2+1......$350 on ebay, never mounted up! check 312772[/snapback] Are you offering to sell those, or you saw them on Ebay? I couldn't find them if they're on Ebay. Is there anything in particular that makes one a-arm better than another? The cheaper ASR comes with DOM steel(?) with the one that is closer to $500 having chromolly. What's the difference? Quote
Wallrat Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Cromoly is considerably stronger than mild steel. You can either run thinner metal and retain the same strength as a mild steel arm or run the same thickness/weight and have a lot stronger arm. Quote
supercoop Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) if I was you I would increase your budget a little more if you can. I would suggest getting some Wicked Products a-arms you can get them for $550 and get them powdercoated in any colour you like. I have them and they are really good for the money. You can get them at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW Edited January 27, 2005 by supercoop Quote

Only differences I see are that Quicksand has gussetts and heim joints instead of ball. Wicked comes with a lifetime warranty but it says structural, so I guess if I bend one that doesn't count right? Quote
supercoop Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 im not sure what the quicksand ones are like but I definately recommened the Wicked Products ones. The lifetime warranty does include breaks or bends with the a-arms, so after you purchase them they break or bend then they will replace them for you. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Quicksand all the way IMO 313320[/snapback] word. i like mine so far. no problems with them and they look real nice. plus gary is a real good guy to deal with!! Quote
Dark Ranger Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Don't have any yet, but hopefully next year I'll get some. Quicksands the way I'll be going! Quote
squish Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 I would suggest quicksand but sucks trying to get ahold oh him. Quote
Big Blue Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 I would suggest quicksand but sucks trying to get ahold oh him. 313507[/snapback] ??? everytime i call he answers the phone and he will usualy talk for about 15 min. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) ??? everytime i call he answers the phone and he will usualy talk for about 15 min. 313733[/snapback] he has been a bit difficult to get ahold of recently but not that hard, his email does not seem to be working for me....Only thing that sucks is that it takes his chrome shop forever. I have been waiting for over 8 weeks for my swingarm and I know it has been at the chrome shop for at least 5 weeks! I don't know if it will even be ready this season I only have 1 more for sure trip planned! Edited January 28, 2005 by Justintoxicated Quote
