Talon X arched a-arms

[Hometeam]

So I have some slight bends in my stock a-arms from our 7 days in Royal Blue a week ago and I wanted to replace them with some arched a-arms. I have looked hard at different ones.

So my question is which one has people been happy with and the reasons?

I have debated on the Super ATV arms with the forward offset but I am hesitant because of the increase in turning radius but I have no real world experience with how much that actually affects the turning radius....I don't really plan to go past 32" tires with wheels that will make it only 1-2 inches wider. I do like the extra length in wheel base it gives me.
The next is L&W arched a-arms with no forward offset. These will be fine with my future 32" tire setup and gives me the extra clearance without any sacrifice to turning.

Thanks for your help!!

I just put SuperATV on mine and mounted brake lines how I thought I was supposed to. I overstretched brake lines causing to leak and my power steering seems weak with 32s. I am going to switch tires back to stock and see if its more the tires or the forward offset that affected the power steering. Then likely switch back to stock arms to see if that makes a difference in steering. I don't have an answer, but I have a feeling I will end up with stock upper and L&W lower. I'll update when I have a better idea.

That is kind of what I was afraid of. How much did the forward a arms affect your turning radius on your X? With hearing of a lot of guys running 32's with no power steering problem, it makes me think it would be something with the forward a arms.

I did not drive enough after change to know if steering radius was affected. Brake lines limited anyway.

I have the stock uppers and L&W lowers and run 30" tires .
The build quality of the L&W seems to be very good and I am very happy with the added ground clearance and stronger material .
.120 wall vs .090 of the stock arms.
and installation was a snap.

Awesome thanks for the feedback! I feel like that is the route I will end up going with. Stronger with extra ground clearance and stock drivability!!

I ordered the L&W Fab a-arms this afternoon. Excited to get them in and on....I plan to head back to Royal Blue this month! Thanks for the help!
