So, I'm going to go crazy with all these aftermarket options.

I've been trying to find a "review" of all the brands to see what one is the best bang for buck, but have not found anything.

I was just going to go with a Diamond J Custom's widening kit, but i've now decided to do a full A-arm kit because by the time I buy the kit, powder coat my OEM a-arms, buy new bushings I'll be at near the same price as full A-arms.

Here are my three choices for best bang for buck. Keep in mind, i'm in Canada, so I'm going to list my "shipped" price

-Full Flight +3+1 $420 shipped.
Features Heim Joints all around but cheapest. The Heims are now have a rubber boot over them, or at least some do.

-Burgard +3+1 $450 shipped
Ball joint and urethane bushings instead of Heim joints. Middle of the road.

-Houser +3+0 $540 shipped
Super deal. Ball joint and needle bearings. I think these are regular about $700

Thanks kindly! If anyone knows of any reviews of all the brands on a forum or such, please post. I've searched to no avail.

 

Houser with needle bearings. They are incredibly tough and you will want to kick the oem engineer in the teeth after a season riding on bearings as they last a lot longer(just keep them lubed.)

 

ran Housers on an old TRX250R, they were great....very durable too

and Scooter, don't be too hard on the engineers...they know all about better bearing systems, but they just have to use what the bean counters let them use

 

Very true, very true. I guess the engineers at work have me a little cranky these days, lol.
