They suck on everything.
They cause extra stress on the ball joints, on the studs.
They increase bump steer.

It is safer to get wider a-arms.

Or you could Quack mod it and weld up the valve stem hole on your rims flip them and drill a new valve stem hole and put new stems in. This changing the offset and widening the front end.

Best handling quad would have a narrow frame, long a-arms, and the rims with a positive offset

I know Laeger use to make a-arms, but it isn't on their site.

Here is avenger, never heard of them but they make them.

Some on ebay for cheap, not sure which year though.

Maybe email full flight and ask them

for the price, i would buy them. they will most likely need bushings and ball joints.

They looked like it, he said he barely got to ride the quad with them at all cause his motor blew and now hes parting it. Thanks for showing me to the ad though, i wouldnt have seen that at all

What would you do with brake lines after a widening like this? Can you extend them somehow with just auto brake line parts?

Personally, I would run dual SS braided lines.
