..if the 400ex shock's are the same length as the 250r front shock's, then you will have to make a new TOP shock mount.
the 250r shocks are longer than the 300ex. if you bolt em' right up then you will have a monster on your hands
(ground clearance). you just need to weld on a new shock mount that's a little higher than whats on it now. you could prolly rig somehting up so that the new mounts will bolt in place of the olds', but e higher (see what i'm sayin) i'm not sure if this will wirk though, i might put the shocks' at a differant angle.
i believe you can use your stock 300ex brakeline's with them too.

i havn't done this mod, but have thought about it. this is what i've been told about it.

the stock 300ex shock will work with 400ex a arms it should be perfect other than the fact that stock 300ex shocks suck.
If you decide to use new shocks either 400ex or 250 r shocks you are going to have to buy a lowering kit. Countypark makes a vaery nice loweering kit you could buy.
