You can get Quadrate on +0 I think as long as they are Long Travel A-Arms for 19 inch Shocks.

You can get the quad rate long travels for +1, +2 and +3 width arms! Ya, there is a pretty big difference.

Comparison. Quadrate 19" with Houser LT +1.

Damn these pics are a pain to get sized right, here it is again.

Dang those Shocks and A-Arms look sweet. Dont test ride a quad with them it will be expensive since you will have to have them.

I just had one chance to ride it since getting all the little problems with the housers corrected (will explain in detail on future thread after I get the pics back) and this set up is so sweet I only wish I did it sooner.

I only wish I had the money to do it. If I had Money I would of got Houser Long Travels, Elka Quadrates, Houser Stem, Swingarm, and a full Elka Rear Shock. I`m 15 I think my 400 is looking good because I have paid for every piece on it.

Well the deal was I get the 400 for Christmas from my Parents, but after that if I want anything I have to buy it and I don`t get anything for a car. So I dunno, but I`m glad I got the 400.
DEAL

Thats the same deal with me warrior man, My parents bought me my 400ex for a grading present and so i would be able to sell my 300ex to help pay for it.
Since then i have paid for all my mods and gas.

My parents would laught their ***** of If I asked em for a quad. I bought most of my 300ex, and all of my 250r, plus everything on it ($$$).

But anyway, Im prolly going for elka's next time I buy shocks (when I get LT front end). Im not buying ZPS shocks for sure though.
A question on a LT set-up. Do you get bad grounf clearence for trails? I ride mostly mx, tt, and light trials. Will the LT set-up be ok for some trails? I'll prollt get some tires/wheels specifically for my Trails and dunes days though, and Maybe TT.

Yeah I`m lucky to get that for Christmas. Heck anybody who has a Quad is lucky to have one no matter how they got it. I`m just lucky my Dad rides and likes it as much as we do so we doesn`t care really. Doesn`t ask why we need Shocks and stuff we just buy them.

Yep, whever I buy something, I tell my dad it costed half of what it actually did, and he still gets a lil upset, I guess you'd say.

Your dad my wife it seems that they just dont get it!!

Good thing you understand how to "work the system" since your gonna need those skills when buying stuff for your quad later in life too.
