Yeah Dennis Kirk on the other hand never has what i want in stock. the only thing that i've ever had a prob with are the aluminum gas caps from tusk that were supose to be for a 250r are WAY too small.

My brother has them on his 400EX and they are pretty nice. They were a little tough to install, they fit kinda tight in the A-Arm mounts, but other than that they are really nice. I might suggest Houser though from Magic Racing, not much more than the armadillo.

I got them on my quad, no problems so far. I also have been VERY satisfied with Rocky Mtn. ATV.

The paint(powdercoat) on mine is holding up good, i think that its powdercoat not paint.

Yeah it should be a powder coat so it shouldn't chip.

well..all the a-arms are made basically of the same stuff..so i would say they would be decent..really when u buy the really pricey a-arms...u just buyin a name...and maybe like a very tiny bit thicker metal..but ****..if u hit something hard enough to bend an a-arm...i dont think to many are gonna stand up to it..

I partially disagree with you rwhitaker. I do think that since you are buying a popular name, the price does go up a little. But you think what are the pros using? They are using the best stuff out there, which tends to be walsh, houser, arsfx, jd.... and the list goes on. Some companys have a lot more money and time into R&D than lets say armadillo does. The product is better in almost every way, from the welds, to design, somtimes paying a little extra is worth it.

u may be correct in your own instance..but..think about it..if they arent payin 575 for a set of housers..which to me isnt all that bad...but for some armadillos or whatever they are called..im sure hes not some sunday racer..hes prolly tryin to get the best deal for his buck..which would prolly be some armadillos or asr's...
