1.6i Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have a buddy of a buddy selling OEM upper chrome A-arms and recently powdercoated lower A-arms with a couple of steelbraided lines for the front brakes, how much is this worth, I have no clue..He gave me a price of $250..Is it a good price? Also is it possible to run Elka front suspension on stock A arms? TIA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 You can run aftermarket shocks with stock arms. Lots of people do. He might get $250 for them. As long as he doesn't mind sitting on them for a while. I, personally, sell stuff to move. I sold a set of stock arms, great shape, for $60 shipped.

Banshee17Racing Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I've never tried it personally, but I've heard a lot of people saying you can't powdercoat the stock a-arms without f'in up the ball joints. Supposedly, when the powder is heated, it melts the rubber the ball joints and they eventually fall apart...just somethin' to check out.

njbanshee Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 You can powder coat them, but you have to repack all the grease. I did it on an old pair. They're on someone elses quad now though. The still hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 you can run elkas on stock a-arms, just make sure you get elkas valved for stock Length A-arms, they will require different valving than extended A-arms. If you choose to get different arms later you will need to have the shocks revalved for a couple hundered $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
