Default 400EX suspension question

I have an 01 400EX and I have been looking around for a wider front suspension. I recently found a kit which just spread apart the stock front a-arms and shocks to a full 6 inch spread. It looks like a great alternative to spending 7-800 bucks and runs around $1-200. I was wondering if anybody had heard of these or has a review on how they work as far as durrability with wheelies, hard riding, and jumping. Below I put the link for the e-bay item im talking about.

Any comments on if anybody has used or knows anything about them would be appreciated.

If it was me I wouldn't get them. They wouldn't hold up to the abuse like extended a-arms would. IMO you pay for what you get.

You can find new A arms on that auction site for right about 4 bones. Thats the route I would take. I have ASR brand A-arms on my 450 and they are great. They are cheaper cuz ASR isn't paying Doug Gust and Kieth Little to advertise them.
