Well thought out integration with shock tower
Posted by Dave M on Feb 17th 2020
Well made, powder coat is spot on to the silver x3 frame it looks great and everything is finished and packaged nicely.
Instructions are good but I do not believe they have updated them in a while as the front lower control arm bolts now have nuts welded into the interior plate (maybe I’m supposed to set it up jam but style but I do not think that is possible based on the number of threads coming through the plate) I’ve used another brand of gusset kit on my other X3 and while it wasn’t finished as nice and only available in black it did tie the rear upper control arm mount into the front reinforcement plate don’t know if that really makes a big difference or not but I think the S3 guys know what you need as good as any of the other shops that fabricate a bunch of high quality parts for this machine. If you are buying this gusset kit you should also do the shock tower brace at the same time it really ties in well with their gusset kit. The number of bolts you secure the front plate with is significant. S3 also bothered to provide bolts which are correctly shouldered based on where you are loading them, (threads are weaker than the shoulder). Yes it requires you to pull the front diff, yeah it doesn’t tie into the rear UCA mount but for the play car set this is probably enough!

can am x3 Gusset kit
Posted by Unknown on Feb 3rd 2020
Overall a great addition to the stock set up. Finish on all the parts is great, the fit and look sharp and add the strength you need to push your unit harder. Instructions can use a little more detail but there is enough to make out what needs to be done. Some parts did need a little modification due to the thick powder coating (rear lower a arm mount) but other then that great kit.

A-Arm gusset kit
Posted by Darrell Patton on Jan 2nd 2020
The over all kit does what it needs to. I had to grind the saddle out of the lower rear A-arm mount as it wouldn’t fit over my frame. Looks great and super strong. Would have given 5 stars if I didn’t have to grind on it

Awesome engineering and production... complete front end tear down was great learning and practice for racers. When you see the factory parts that are replaced, you'll be super happy about decision to upgrade!!!

The gusset kit is engineered very well, The fit and finish is excellent. I chose the black textured finish which matches the oem frame very well. The instructions and pictures were clear and easy to follow.
The customer service was very helpful and shipping was fast.

Quailty part excellent upgrade over stock
Posted by Ray from Downey on Sep 11th 2018
The S3 gusset kit is a large improvement over stock, the installation was straight forward. I Had no problem with the instructions provided. Start to finish was about 6 hours nice weekend project. The powder coating was very nice quality. i also at the same time installed the S3 shock tower mount they paired up very nicely. S3 customer service is top notch.
I would recommend this kit for anyone wanting to upgrade from Can Am's thin parts.

5 star kit, 4 star instructions
Posted by Christopher N Montone on Sep 3rd 2018
4 day pounding in duck creek Utah did great. Instructions were awesome, but were for some other version of the kit. Pictures helped alot.

Great insurance policy
Posted by Kevin M on Apr 24th 2018
When i first started tearing the front end apart, i was thinking, do i really need to do sll this just to trail ride in Minnesota and Wisconsin? Well after seeing how thin the factory metal is and how the use single shear mounts on the a arms, im very glad i took my time installing this. I would say i had anout 8 hours into it with the installation of camams pre tunner bumper and winch.
S3 really needs to do a better job on the installation instructions, ghere were a few times i went on google images to see how everything went.
