I had full flights on my 400ex and i didn't like them. the hem joints started to wear down after 1 season of riding. i'm not sure if all full flights have these hem joints but mine did. if you grabbed your front tire and wobbled it, you can feel a little play back and forth because of them

i also have the burgard +2 on my 450r and they are great. i've only raced them for a year now but they are holding up great and i love them

i had +2 fulflights on my 400ex and basically u get wat u pay for. if i were to buy another set i wouldnt buy them like nskukalek79 said they have the heim joints unless u wanna spend another 120 130 on upgraded joints, by the time u do that u might as well buy Burgards, in my opinion stay away from Fullflight.

Another vote for Burgard. I've been very happy w/ mine. Much better build quality than FF. Houser is better yet, but be ready to break out your wallet.

Burgard is good and SMC is also very good for the price

The bottom of the barrel burgards are pretty bad too, though lightyears better than FF. The burgards will break the lower balljoints often if you're racing. They're just a weak design. You can get better burgards with the bigger joints, but they'll cost you what Houser's cost you. Check the classifieds and buy a used set of quality arms.;)

I think most people know where I stand on FF, you can try searching for more info.

I started Damnkids. I know all of those guys, dont really see/hear too much from them anymore. Which isn't a bad thing for some of them.
