So Ive been looking for a set of +2 a arms and im down to either the gt thunder arms on ebay or the burgards.

My biggest question is do I want +0 forward or +1 forward?

I race harescrambles, do some recreational mx, and just general trail riding. I have a stock swing arm and dont really have any plans on doing an extended swinger.

Just not sure whats right for me. thanks

ok... why? I guess maybe I'm looking for the added benefits or negative effects a +1 forward will have?

+1 forward isnt gonna effect anything, you'll benifit from it. but go with the one thats cheaper but make sure if u need lines, that it comes with them. Oh, and the tie rods. Make sure their included

+1 forward arms will change the center of gravity and keep it more planted in the corners.

Look at JD Performance a arms and there is a write up on the website on why it is NOT necessary to have +1 forward for the 400EX but why you should go longer in the rear. I have JD Performance a arms and have not lengthened the rear and have no issues while on the track or trail.
