Hi,

Looking at these Hygear Slicast Upper A-Arms and was wondering if anyone has used these before. Adjustable caster/camber could be a very nice tuning feature.

I have them on my wife’s Doo 1200 GSX SE. We like them a lot! I was able to dial out some heavy steering while keeping pressure on the skis... (better grip when cornering). I saw them for the Winder on their site and will keep them in the back of my mind as a possible addition later. I have to see how this beast behaves without them first.

As it is I have added BOP’s MPS and different skis without first trying them. I don’t want to change too much at one time.
 
I put them on my 1200 to get it to lay flatter and try and lighten up the steering, the Doo setup comes with taller ball joints and made it more like the RAS2 which kept the sled from lifting the inside ski better, which it did accomplish nicely, but came at the expense of more bump steer which I did not like.

I could stand up the spindle for easier steering, but it became very unstable setup like that, so I ended up set back to the RAS2 stock setup.

The winder front end already has taller spindles and higher roll center so this kit does nothing for that, and the Winder already steers far easier then the Doo's.

Save your money. I wouldn't even consider them myself after using them on the Doo. The Cat front end is dialed nicely with the QS3's.
