I am looking at SMC arms and they have great prices so I was wondering how they hold up? I like to jump a lot. Will they come with everything I need?(brakelines tierods etc) If you have these arms post pics of them.

my SMCs are like 2 months old and the bushings are shot in the upper a arms (maybe i didnt use enough grease) other then that they're fine. they come with everything you need, except brakelines, which you dont need unless you go with +3's. the price and warrenty is what sold me on these.

between me and my friends we have six sets and not one problem. One friend pegged a tree in third and bent the arm and steve replaced it with no questions.

yea i called the guy, jim i think his name is. im actually sending my lower ones out to him after the WPSA becouse they are bent (i have zero luck with this quad) but yea, he seemed like a nice enough guy, willing to take care of my problem. NO its not really smc's fualt they're bent, thats what happens when you ride/race on +3s and stock shocks (be sure to get shocks set up for wider a arms), my front shocks are soft and bottom out everywhere and i only weigh 120lbs w/o gear... i still think smc's are good a arms

steve definetely goes above and beyond for his customers. He has fixed many people problems even after hitting trees and annihilating the arms.
