for the $$ they are pretty good. i have used them in several quads a couple different 450r's and a yfz450.

only had 1 bend in 1 of the 450r's but he hit another quad hard in a corner, and anything would bend when hit like that.

got mine over a year ago and i love it. the only thing is the axle nut likes to loosen up once in a while. I've seen a lot of guys do the duct tape thing so i did it and it worked like a charm. kinda ghetto but it works. other than that it's a great buy and i would recomend it. just make sure to meticulously clean up the rear end before you put it in and everything else. lock tite is your friend.

You could adjust the width of the axle with the spindle spacers...

You can adjust it out +2 on each side...

Having the rear axle wider doesn't hurt the handling any. I have had just the axle set to +4 for a few months now and the axle definitely helps the handling in the wide sweeping corners. We all know the z's tend to be a little top heavy. I am working on getting a set of a-arms, i'm interested in seeing how much they help the handling.

I've got my LSR set at +4 and stock arms. The only thing I noticed was it's harder to turn in a tight radius.
