mx chassis setup

Was wondering what the best setup was for racing mx on a 250r. I was thinking +3+1 a-arms with a +1.25 no link swinger. Is this a good combination? What offset on the front and rear wheels?

Also can anyone tell me if Fullbore plastics come with new mounting hdwr, or do I need to find OEM mount brackets to build my frame up?

Will the +3 a-arms require that I buy long travel shocks?
Im building a MX R from the frame up and just want to make sure I do it right the first time. Any and all opinions and tips will be appreciated.

Thanks

Keep the swingarm 88/89 stock lenght. If it is an 86/87 then go with the +1.25. The +1+3 arms are a good choice, for MX you would want to get long travel, and you would need long travel shocks. For the front wheels get 4+1 offset wheels. I think that and the +3 arms put the quad right at 50 inches wide. The no link swingarm is a good choice. I don't know about the plastic, I am actualy wondering the same thing myself.

if its an 86 87 you want to go with a 1 inch SHORTER swingarm.
