I want to have a good quality front end setup.

I'm looking for something thats not too harsh on the wallet

I want standard travel shocks, anything thats better than works shocks, i kinda like TCS and Elka with the resoviors. And whats a cheaper a arms setup out of Laeger, Houser and Burgard? I know all of these are quality A+ brands but i want to know what the cheapest one out of all of these. I want standard travel +2 a arms. I want shock that can be preload adjustable and weight adjustable for MX jumping.

Some of these sites don't have prices, so i want a complete price

Your going to get a lot of Answers...
If you want a good quality setup without killing your wallet then SMC a-arms is the way to go.

Motowoz shocks = Excellent feedback!
I don't get any complaints.. Besides, "What, I have to wait three weeks!"

Motowoz does not build generic specs and sits on them waiting for someone to come close to the specs they have in stock to ship; instead, each shock is accurately built according to the information you provide.

TCS if your on a budget. they will be set-up right from the factory. If you were going all out I would say Axis or Elka and have them valved by GT Thunder or C&D Racing.

I like the prices of the a arms, but i only have one question, are SMC a arms well known and reliable? Their prices are great but I've never heard of them before.

They are known, but not well right now. They are respectable a-arms. You may even want to look around for used higher end a-arms. I know a few years ago I picked up some slightly used LSR +1 a-arms for half what they were new.

just a suggestion, FullFlight Racing off of ebay has their own company and they make a-arms +2+1, comes with all neccesary installation bushings boots etc. tie rods and the a-arms have the highly dependable and expensive to buy heim joints. Brand new pair with a 5 year warranty i believe is $329.00 buy it now with $26.00 shipping... so a 5 year warranty on some bad*** a-arms for $350 free color pick within their selection and a free t-shirt from them... just my 2 cents!

i just bought a set of these, paid $351 shipped. I havent put them on yet, they look really good! i will be running them with 450r shocks set to the softest setting for now...for the money, i think this is the best shock setup.

the best front end is a PEP/Walsh or PEP/Gibson but motowoz is amazing! great price too!

i use 2+ arms on my trx450r, thinking of change my shocks to either PEP race frontshocks(650$) or PEP ltd mass (790$)!
Is it any adjustability on the LTD mass shock?

Laeger Pro-Traxx is probably the best a-arm. I kinda wish I had gotten PEP's instead of Fox's. Nothing wrong with the Fox shocks I probably would have liked PEP better.
