Wider a-arms are definately going to help on hard turning. But, as mentioned in a previous post, they may pose a slight problem on rutted hill climbs. If you climb hills with definate ruts from other quads, you better make sure your quad is near the same width! If you widen out your quad, you are definately going to have to get used to it! Just make sure you don't go out and hammer the first hardest hill you come across! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Watch out for those saplings too! They tend to want to clip widened axles (experience speaking!) Widening shure helps the cornering stability. When I got my wide axle for my 400EX, it really helped the highsiding in the corners. I am sure wider a-arms will greatly improve that too.

I am pretty seriously shopping around for a set for my new Banshee. I will also get a wider axle to match. It is hard to decide where to spend all that money though. They just don't seem like they would be worth that much... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
