it will only get better as more kits come out.
Remember its easy to increase the travel numbers at the wheel when you go wider.....

it is all about reasearch, so you know 100% for sure what you need, and shopping around the forums for used stuff and all. Ive gotten SWEET deals on the parts that im going to be using.

the market will be flooded with similar kits from mild to wild over th enext couple of years if you are serious about staying with IFS/A arms.....

heck yeah my deavers were like a night and day difference!

*taknitezX2* · 03-20-2006, 11:05 PM

it was funny cause u can feel a difference just going around the corner. i can feel the extra travel/articulation that they give. might go run a couple little dirt roads to see how they do.

HappyGilmore · 03-20-2006, 11:14 PM

yeah you will definately like it better. worth the money.
