They're okay. The only real complaints so far are that: 1) The "powdercoat" (more like paint) sucks. It is very thin and chips off pretty quickly. 2) The lower heim ball joints are too poor quality for their location. Heim joints are designed to handle radial loads (side to side), not axial (up and down). When put in the lower ball joint position, the heim has to support more than the weight of the quad, especially under hard braking and big jumps. This heavy axial load causes the cheap heims to wear quickly and become sloppy. If I were you, I would spend a little extra for a-arms with traditional ball joints or request that the heims be upgraded to their higher quality joints. I have their better heims on the lower ball joint position and I've had pretty good luck with them.

I have had my ASR +2 +1 PSR since last December and I love them. The main reason I picked them up was the warrenty. I couldn't believe the costomer service when I started to talk to ASR and other people.
I have seen this A-arm take a beating and when it did break ASR had no problem what so ever replacing the parts. All they ask is you send them 20 bucks for shipping them back to you once they are either fixed or replaced.
I have had my quad out on the MX track now about 15 times since I have picked mine up and I haven't had a problem yet.
I was told the Hiem joints should be replace either once a year (hard MX racing) or every other year for the casual rider.
I personally think ASR has a good product and they stand by it. If something goes wrong they'll fix it no questions asked.
