"american star racing" A-arms. Strong as hell. Break or bend one you get a new one free other than the heim joints.

There +1/+2. 1 inch forward and 2 inches wider per side making it 4 inches wider total.

There +1 forward for sure. Only way to know if are +2(4") is to take out the tape messure but im sure the person wouldnt carve it into the rezzy for no reason which I find dumb to do imo.

:blah:

Those look like PEP's. PEP engraves the reservoir with the model of the quad and the type of a-arms on all of their shocks. I think they also include the weight of the rider and the rider skill level (Pro MX, B MX, A XC, etc...).

I had PEP ZPS shocks and they didn't engrave anything into my rezzys.

Interesting. All of the sets I've owned have had the engraving. The first set I had was in 06. Were your shocks older than that? Who built them?
