I've had American Star pros for almost a year now, and really like them. Had a harder time adjusting them in the first place, but after a few tries, got it right, and rides real smooth. I did notice that with the stock ohlins shocks that it was too soft, so I got a pair of adj. works, GREAT performance, and the price was right too!!!

I also had a lot of good help from the ppl at American Star.

does anyone know if they have their own website? or maybe their phone #? Where's the cheapest place to buy a set of the Pro series?

..I got brand new American Star off of ebay,305.00..every now and then they have a no reserve one. And for I think it was 6$ more a hime joint they came with come kind of noilon in them so they wont squeak,but thats only for the frame end ones,the spindle ones are normal,and u have to lube them.Im not going to say im not happy with them,but they do sceem a lot heaver then the stock ones,and and i dont really like the +1 forward?? +1 forward makes a lot harder for me to wheelie,a lot harder,so I think it kinda takes the "fun" out the "play"?? if that makes scents? Iv had mine 2 months now,sceam to be made well,and I think its perty trick the way they mount the hime joint to the spindle. And for the price,cant really go wrong..Thanks

I will most likely go with the +2 American Star Pro Series. They seem to be the most reasonably priced arm out there. I called Lonestar yesterday and asked them if you have to use 19" shocks w/ there +3 arms. They told me that you did, AND, he told me that you have to use a longer shock also on their +2 Arms. So, I not buying Lonestars. I just bought my Elkas,.....I'm not selling them just for longer ones right now.

Someone tell me a little about those heim joints. Do you have to grease them or what? Do they last as well as ball joints?

the owner of American Star told me just to use wd40 or equivalent. I used it, but found a clear lube works better. the heim joints have held up very well so far.

I hear a-arm wise that there is nothing as good as the Laeger T-pin, but that stuff is ridiculous. I am thinking of getting some though.

My heim joints have also held up well, I usually just spray them with lithium grease. If your not in a hurry, there's a company that puts them on ebay once in awhile with no reserve.

I've never heard of Action Racing, but they have a set of +2+1 arms on ebay for $359 a-arms
