I was wondering about both of these set of A-arms, they seam quite cheap compared to other brands. How do they hold up? Is it worth while buy these over a much cheaper set of used stock A-arms? How much will they improve the handling?

the one set that I owned for a cannondale ,were very heavy and the rod ends that came on them were cheap .If they give you the option to upgrade I would.The guy that owns the place built me a set for free for letting him use my stock dale arms.I didn't like them.this was 10 years ago,so who knows maybe they are better now

I have full flight for my r. the powder coating on my arms was not a quality job. I ordered black pc i got a nick in the paint. diden't tap it much. The paint i thought was going to be smooth but it was more of a textured look. I have seen other sets and they have a textured ollk. So i through them in my cabinet blaster and off came the paint. It came off pretty easy. So for being powder coated i expected it would of been harder to remove.

I have a set of American star and I haven't rode much on em but I like them because you can adjust cast on them which you can't on most a arms , also they are guaranteed for life
