I had them before, just make sure you get ones that are Chromoly, not steel! They have a lifetime warranty against bending or braking.
I had them on my old (cough)raptor, and they were +2W, +1F, I rode them on the track, and in the trails in the boods, beat the crap out of them, never bent or broke. I give the nod.

(you want the ones that are 488 not 418, the higher ones are the chromoly, I e-mailed and asked they guy, the discription is not very clear, ask him yourself. )

i have the steel ones on my 400ex, not too bad. i'm no pro but they work good for me. if i were to buy a-arms agian they wouldn't be asr. i don't like the heime ball joins, rather have standard ball joints but thats me.
oh, i ran into a tree last year with them, broke my are in to spots, a-arms held up nice.

heres a pic.

there are 50,000 people on this site, there has to be more people with asr products than this

No, they bend to easy even with gussets on them. The shock mounts are closer to the frame in relation to the stock measurements. There are better A-ARMS then ASR's for around the same price ex. Burgard - Houser - Fab-Tech.

Also, ASR uses heim joints which are exposed to the riding elements and will not last as long as ball joints.

Good Luck,
Tim
