I saw your post a while back about you liking them a lot. How about now with some riding time on them? I don't race but I want to get rid of my front spacers and am looking for some quality a-arms that won't break the bank. The spacers are good, except for the bumpsteer and also I have Elkas valved for +2 a-arms and only have 1.5 inch spacers. Also, I don't see the need to adjust caster, I'd just be jacking with it all the time anyway. Looking for some input. Thanks.

I too installed the alba +2, +1 a-arms, along with the Works steeler triple rate front shocks and a Lonestar +3" axle.

This quad feels and rides so much different. Absorbs whoops and big jumps with ease. It now power slides and roosts without that tippy sensation. Whether duning or trails, this puppy rocks!

Suggestions:

1. Buy the aftermarket a-arm bushings that alba sells ($20.00). This allows you to avoid the big hassle of removing and re-using the stock ones.

2. Buy a +3 or +4 rear axle. It does make a big difference, and is well worth the investment. If you do get it, buy the shop manual and a set of Motion Pro rear axle nut wrenches (to avoid having your nuts work loose). And if your torque wrench doesn't go to 200 ft lbs, borrow one that does.

3. Get a set of rear axle seals and repack the rear bearings with grease while the axle is out.

4. Buy the emergency brake cover and toss the e-brake.

Good luck.
