all you need is 400ex a arms..2 400ex tie rods..and 400ex or 250r shocks and mount..do like me and you will be happy...instead of foolin with buying used a arms that have the balljoints torn out of em go to www.servicehonda.com i bought 4 400ex a arms and 2 tie rods for under $200 shipped to my door..then i picked up a set of used shocks from a member here for $65...then i bought a mount kit off of countypark..the mount is excelent u can contact him at countyparkracing@hotmail.com

thanks a million, have you got any before & after pics. if not ok, but how hard was this whole process, what tools will I need, etc. etc.. thanks again. kaysen

the only tools ye should need is a 14mm wrench and a 14mm socket..and some needle nose pliars to pull the cotter pins out on the balljoint..check out the faq forums to read a method of seperating the a arms from the spindle

You will need a shockmount. I will sell you one that bolts on to your stock mounts for $65 shipped to your door. I believe countypark sells his for $80 plus shipping. Email me cobb2003@adelphia.net . I will post pics later.

I agree that buying new a-arms are the better way to go, but if you wanna save some money I got some that i'll ship to you for $70.00

[KP's lil'300]

swamprider7- could you post pics of your shockmount, also how well will it hold up. just tell me about it.

zfire_28- what year are these a-arms off of? what kind of condition are they in from 1-10? ball joints? tell me about them.

thanks Kaysen

[zfire_28]

They are off a '99, but really only have 1 seasons use on them because it sat pretty much unridden till i bought it last year. I am looking at them right now, and am suprised to see that the paint really dosn't look bad........ Ball joints look great.......and the tie rods are like new. like I said before, buying new is the best way to go. but I think that you will be super happy with these if you choose to buy.

scale of 1-10 1=junk 10=spankn new

Ball joints----------9
A-arms-------------9
Paint----------------8
Tie rods------------9.5

By the way, the ball joints for the tie rods are not included because i had to use them on my leagers, but yours will work.
