Im about to buy new extended a-arms for my 400ex and want to know what brand is the best to go with. Ive been looking at Houser and Lonestar. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Houser seems to have a really good reputation for their quality on swingarms and a-arms. In fact, I just installed a set of +1+1/2 on my 400EX. The handling difference is amazing. I also ordered a +1 1/4 swingarm that I haven't received yet. I think for the money, Houser is one of the better a-arms out there.

Lonestar kicks butt. I would get a pair of lonestar racing + 2" a-arms.

I did some research and decided on the herrmann racing +2 a-arms. These things look really tough the bottom a-arm is really beefed up and super clean welds. I had them powdercoated yellow and I will give all the details of them when i get em. I would suggest them to anyone seem like very good people.

Out of curiousity, How did you hear about herrmannracing.com? Was it through me or did you from somewhere else...
Just wondering what kind of publicity they are getting..

I've got a set of JD Performance +2's on my R and they are great. They don't have all the adjustablity of the Lonestars though. My buddy has a set of Laegers and they look almost identical. The best part was that they only cost me $450 to my door!!! Good luck.
