Found these for sale used. Elka Quadra rate springs, fully rebuilt, compression rebound adjustable, long travel they look like stag 3 to me. JB Racing a-arms +3+1 off of a 400ex Honda 2001, in great shape. Will separate. $1200. Reasonable price or what would you guys offer? Not sure if that comes with tie rods and brake lines.

Considering the arms alone are at least 700-800 bucks and the shocks are about the same its an ok deal. A g or 900 would make a great deal.

i was looking at those pics, and it doesn't look like there is a cross brace under where the shock mounts on those a-arms... not sure about that. Just a thought.

No there is not, it just had a mis-judgment there. You are all good with the way it is setup, JB just uses a different mounting method than most other companies.

I think the mount differently because the shock mounts below the plane of the lower a-arms.
They look like long travel a-arms & shocks to me.

agreed, 1000 or so would be much better. some of the kits on ebay are new slicast and elkas for 2300 and they are quad rates and fully adjustable. those arms have some wear on them but they still look good.
