400ex spindles will work. They do correct the front end some but I thought it lost a lot of turning radius. But it was less twitchy at high speed. I didn't like it for tight trails. I liked the 300ex spindles with the 250r a arms better but it depends on what type of riding you do. I'd still try to save up for some used aftermarket 300ex arms if you can. You can still use the shockmount and 400ex length shocks with aftermarket arms as long as you have the shock revalved. It ends up being like a long travel setup.
