First off I'd like to say hi. I just found this site and forum and I have really liked what I have read.
Ok, this last weekend my buddy and I replaced my stock front end and rear axle.
To start off I went to Ebay and wanted to get a quality set of shocks. I don't mind buying new, but I just didn't have the funds to get everything new.
So. I bought a set of Elka resivior compresion adjustable shocks for about $450.00. Not a bad deal if you ask me. I think these go for about $750.00 and up.
Second. I wanted a good set of A-arms. I researched some of the well known companies out there. Such as Lonestar, Houser, and a few others. When it came down to getting the A-arms I went with Quadpartsguy which is a dealer for American Star Racing. The set of A-arms I bought were ASR-107PSP TRX400EX Pro Star Plus A-Arms +2, Up 1. for a price of $459.00, which at the time included a set of FREE twin brake lines!!!!! I think they were valued at $65.00
The main reason I went with this A-arm is because it comes with a 100% Lifetime Structural Warranty. It doesnt' matter what you do to the A-arm. If you run into a tree, crash on a jump, or what ever, the A-arms will either be fixed or replaced. All you need to do is supply $20.00 for the shipping.
For the Axle my buddy suggested I check out Rockymountian ATV. He told me there was a very nice rear axle that can run +2 or +4 configuration. So i though what the heck why not. I was very suprised to see that the Axle was about $200.00. I thought what a deal!!!
In all I spent under $1,300.00 on a pretty nice susspention, A-arms and axle. And an added bonus was the FREE brake lines!
My next plan is the rear shock, and some engine work. I have a feeling this is going to be about another $1,000.00 of work, but well worth it.
