Default lt 80 double a arms

I've been "in the making" of a dual a-arm setup, but that's a winter project as time is valuable this time of year for me.
I'm doing it for width and suspension travel. I will use the stock front brakes. They work just fine.
What do you think is going to be the advantage of disc brakes??? I know they are better, but I am curious.
I've found it hard to get the kids to use front brakes let alone have monster brakes up front. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] (they seem to be scared of using the front brakes)

I figured that if I was going to do it then why not go just a little bit further, but you are right. I don't recall the last time the 80 needed to have the front brakes adjusted.

Jack: I hope you make them! A nice set of wider A-arms would be so better than the
bolt on extender kit I'm using. Oh yeah... would the Camber/Caster be adjustable?

P.S. I PM'd you on the latest developments with the clutch saga. I tried emailing you, but
It didn't go through. I got error message saying that you were past your storage limit
(busy, busy,busy guy Eh jack).

"Thanks" for banging heads (talking) with me and MacDizzy Sat on the phone about my
sons LT80 clutch problems. It' seems to be runnning "much" better, close to rocket status!!
Will see this Sunday @ San Jose. Maybe will be able to catch and pass another one of the
intermediate riders..

My neighbor has a blaster that he is converting the front end to a banshee, a arms shocks and brakes. Would the blaster make a good donor quad?
