alright, i've been wanting extended a-arms on my 300ex for a while now, but they were too expensive, now i've found a set of new 400ex arms for only 50 dollars,, and i'm getting them for sure, but i was wondering, about how much would it lower my quad, and how extended would they be past stock width, and will it move my tires forward or back any??

 

forwards

 

It will lower your front end a little with your stock shocks. Not a great deal though. I think the a-arms will make your front end about 1.5" to 2" wider. I have heard they extend about 1" forwards too. With the weld-in shock tower from ATV Racing, you'll love your front end setup.

Do a search on this site about the conversion kit. You'll probably find out what you want to know. Good luck.

 

what were the shock towers you were talking about, is this something i need witht the a arms, or where can i get more info on them,, thanx

Here is the link to the ATV Racing website.

You should find out about the weld-in shock tower kit there. It consists of the actual shock tower, and a mounting jig. You must cut off your old shock tower. Then, you must use the jig to hold the new shock tower in place, and weld it in. A friend of mine did this to his 300EX. He used my stock 400EX a-arms, and a set of 250R shocks. It now handles much better than before.


Here is a thread that might interest you: "400ex shocks on a 300ex". Hopefully this will help answer any questions you have. If not, let me know. I'll try to help you out. Good luck.

 

Also, check out this page from 94DGblaster's website: 400ex A-arms and shocks conversion. His site shows good pictures of the setup, and explains the process well. Hope I've helped.
