Don't know much about flat track, wish they had it around here.

But, wouldn't you want a swaybar on your front end to help with the cornering?

i have heard from many people that sway bars help and then i heard that they arent worth it and they couldnt tell the differents.

Yes those are LT a-arms and shocks they are those Cheap ASR a-arms on ebay

for flattrack and tt, a swaybar is the ticket. although with you running a LT set up you wil have to have them weld a mount to bolt the end link to on the a-arms.

you can buy those a-arms on ebay? and they will work work stock shocks? i want to try flat track but dont want to spend a lot of money. i need a lowering kit and tires first. anywhere u can get used flat track tires? what else do u need for flat track? tether kill switch, nerf bars, lowering kit,....anything else?

Slick tires and a swaybar.

Steveatv, the swaybar really does make a difference. It helps to evenly distribute the weight on the front end of the 4 wheeler so one side doesn't dive harder than the other, thus: faster turns, more predictable, etc. The only thing that you would have to do with your a-arms to run a swaybar would be to weld tabs to them close to the shockmounts.

yes i bought those a-arms off ebay a while ago for my 440ex and just bent them to fit the 450r until i get new ones. if you use stock shocks with these a-arms your frame will hit the ground on every little bump. I got my tires free from a kid who races micros
