RoostRocket Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 well i recently bent my a arms and blew the left shock and i relized how cheezy the a arms are. now i want to do some +2 arms and alba has a kit that seems reasonably priced and i know what alot of you think of alba but are they any good? i know theshee said the ball joints are a joke but is there any other problems? i do alot of jumping and just aggresive duning on my shee. would yfz arms be better for me i have a yfz and love the suspension but what would you guys suggest out of those two?

BansheeKid15 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Im going to get yfz a arms and shocks for my bike. I also do alot of jumping and duning, and sometimes ill hit up hollister for dirt. I have 2 friends that have yfz's and their ball joints/shocks/a arms hold up just fine (so far) and they ride about as agressive as i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave95.1 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 http://www.atvsuspensiontech.com/ has package deals. I don't know what kind of deals alba has, but hit up Joe at the above address. He has good customer service and the prices were the best I could find without getting the cheap crap off fleabay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003LimitedBanshee Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 thanks guys that http://www.atvsuspensiontech.com/ place has some trick stuff but alittle pricey im thinking yfzarms....maybe... I don't want to jump the gun, but I will be offering pre-cut, ready to bolt in YFZ450 front end kits shortly. I am working on a prototype spacer currently and if that all works out, I should have a few kits ready within a couple of weeks. Pricing will likely be in the $250 range for Arms, tie rods, bushings, spacers. I've converted my bike as well as a few others and it is a significant improvement over the Banshee stuff. Combine these with a set of 450 shocks and you'd be in business for around $375-$450 depending on how good a deal you got on shocks. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregbowler Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have the alba kit. Alba sucks but so far the kit has been great. More pics can be seen here: http://www.79camaro.com/camaro-gallery/album03?page=1 Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact Joe on there about a package deal. It's definately not cheap, but when I was looking I couldn't find anything better. He will save you some money if you buy arms, shocks, brake lines together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00strokerbanshee Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm considering selling my piggy back pro-series works shocks for +2 a-arms if your interested in picking up a used set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee 4 fun Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I do alot of hard riding and jumping! i dont think the YFZ A-Arms work on the bottom. I have awesome a-rms on my nike +2+1 uniball style with an awesome warranty. great price too. a friend of mine also has the drag arms, he loves them.
