On my 300EX i want to put on wider a-arms and bigger shocks. i was thinkin of works triple rates up front. and for a-arms i am lost.

i was thinkin of buyin factory 400EX a-arms and put them on and buying the works triple rates that fit on them.

what would the factory a-arms run$$
could this work, would this be worth it or should i get aftermaket racing ones, i was thinking i could save some money.

if not what aftermarket should i get that are good

i did the 400ex front suspension upgrade to my 300ex and its awsome. i didnt even bother to put new shock mounts on i just bolted them right up.

You can buy the stock 400ex a-arms at honda of Troy. Prices are...upper a-arm $64.95/Lower a-arm $42.65. You can use the stock 300ex shocks or order Works Tripple rate shocks which run $379.95. You can not use the 400ex stock shocks won't work done tried it. I have the 400ex a-arms and works shocks on my 300ex and I love it.

how much wider will the a-arms be, and stupid question what does +1, +2, +4 mean, how many inches bigger it is

01-22-2002, 09:51 AM
+1, +2 etc..is the width gain you have over stock,,I think 400ex arms will make your 300ex front end a total of 2 inches wider than stock,,Oh and they don't make triplerate work shocks for a 300ex but they do make dual rate which will work great also..

+1 = 1 inch

+2 = 2 inches

+4 = 4 inches,,,,,,,,,,,,,this is comparing it to stock width whether its A-arms or axle measurements.
