Okay, Let me start with my A-Arms. I changed my mind about getting the Lone-Star Racing A-arms. Now I want to get the American Star Racing MX Pro A-Arms. They only come in 3+. Would this look good on a Blaster? They sell on there website for $500.

Now with the Swing-Arm. They are also American Star Racing. They come in sizes of 1+ all the way to 12+. Which size should i get? I don't wanna make it too long but I want it to stand out . It will help me out on the trails too! It sells on there website for $700. I could probably find one much cheaper though!

Another thing I would like to get is some nice shocks. I've had people tell Banshee shocks are really nice. I might get Banshee front shocks and then get a Honda TRX 250r rear shock or maybe a Fox Shock. Suggest me some other great shock that would give me great suspension on my Blaster!

Thanks !
 
if your gonna spend all that moola on them arms and swinger, i sure as hell wouldnt waste my money on banshee shocks, watch ebay and get a set of "works performance dual rate's" usually go for under $200, it'll be the best money you'll spend on the blasty, mine just eat the ruff stuff right up, i'm flyin over sh*t that woulda wrecked me with stock shocks

I really do like Works Shocks, I'm gonna get the Swing-Arm first though. After that I'll get them Works, then I will get the a arms. Hopefully then I will be done modding the Chassis.
 
the +3 a-arms that are the american star racing i have them on my blaster check out my pics they make it sit nice and wide and are deff a lot better made then our stock a-arms
 
no problem man and thanx. .... haha i bought my a-arms used i payed like 290 shipped for em there rele expensive new.... then got my gforce used for 100 shipped not bad eh...
 
I love my ASR +3 up 1 arms and my +4 swingarm.
Really a +3 swinger will do the job for you and improve your handling on the trails.
 
Honestly IMO find a set of used a-arms if you can and get em powdercoated/painted. Youll save money and you can put it towards something else. As far as suspension goes I agree with AWK. If you get those nice new a-arms its not going to change how the shocks ride. Try and find some works triple rates, or a set of cheap elkas if you can. Or if you want throw a set of yfz shocks up front. Either way, I would do shocks before a-arms IMO.

I will get YFZ 450 shocks for sure, i dont want to risk getting ripped off on might having a bent a arm when i buy em'
 
As long as you get TONS of pics from every angle and what not you should be fine. But i understand what you are saying


BTW, I can't find a set of American Star Racing A-Arms! I don't want Burgard A-Arms. I'm just gonna save up and get them. Then i will save up to re-do my dad's 93 camry LE w/94 engine. Get the enginetuned up, valves and belts and EFI adjusted.
