Does using the whole front end still throw the geometry off? I have never really seen this question answered and I still haven't bolted it up to see for myself. I'm confused a little I guess. It seems to me that if different arms give the same camber and caster, the same distance apart at all 3 points, and the shock has the same or a little more stroke, then the geometry and shock could work with possibly a slight valuing adjustment. I haven't forgotten about the tie rods. I guess the mounting tab on the different spindle would need to close to stock in order to keep from binding or hitting the frame. Am I on the right track?

You can use a 400ex arms, you just have to use 400ex spindles, brakes , and hubs. Then everything works fine. I have pictures if needed.
