They have a website - not sure of the address. I found it searching for DS650 products. I sent them an e-mail asking for pricing and availability, never got an answer. Let me know how you like them - details like weight difference, whether they have grease fittings, etc.

Funny you should ask I just ordered a set yesterday. Here is the like for you to the web site. The arms are 525 for plus 1 with tie rods powder coated any color you wand including chrome. Not to bad and the quality looks top notch. I cant wait to get mine.

DSaholic,

Let us all know how these arms look and perform once you get them. Although I am a "Craptor" rider, I am in the market (way past due) for some ext-arms.

Thanks,
Swy

One of the questions I asked Strong-Arm in my unanswered e-mal was "What is the corrected caster angle after installation". If anybody knows, I love to have the answer...

Yes these arms are corrected for the caster and camber. They are fully adjustable also. After talking with Mark I have come to the conclusion that My bending so many shocks had to do with the A arms and the placement of the stock shock on the arm. The stock shock sits too far out near the end of the a arm to be able to take the abuse that big jumpers put in them so they break. The strong arms move the shock in correcting this and increasing wheel travel. I will most deffinetly give you guys a report when I get them and my new shocks on.

The website says they are corrected for proper caster - I'm just inquiring as to what their definition of correct caster is, in terms of angle. Factory caster is 5 degrees, what to the strongarms take it too?

Now that one I can't tell you I talked with mark for about 20 min making sure that these A arms would fit my need and from what he told me they will work out perfect for the riding that I do. I hope he is right. I guess if he can build a sport quad with IRS he must know what he is doing. I guess I will wait and see.

Cool, glad to hear a positive comment - I've just not heard anything either way, good or bad. Looking forward to hearing how they perform, and hold up to your jumping. If they can take what you dish out, they'll hold up for me!
