Do a search. They will fit, but it takes a few other parts to make it work.

it makes it about 2 inches wider. stock brake lines fit.. i got 250r arms because they was cheap an u can udjust the camber. the only thing was i had to switch the lil spacer things on the arms but all together it was pretty easy!

was about to do a search on this topic. ive got a 93 300ex i am playing with. i also have 2 250r's and have been racing since 1992, (just adding that so i hopefully wont get treated as to big of a noob :p ) i have an old set of Laegers +1 a arms for my 250r that im not useing and would like to put on my ex. i measured and i noticed the inside dust shield would have to be cut off to make it work, is there anything else i need to change? i am new to the 300 on what i can change, i do know i can make 88-89 250r grab bars and 250r front bumpers work. thanks

You have a few choices:

1. 300ex a arms(stock or aftermarket) with shock mount bracket and 400ex shocks(stock or aftermarket)

2. 250r/400ex a arms with shock mount bracket and 400ex shocks

3. 250r/400ex a arms with custom length(14.75") shocks from works elka etc...

the 87 and 88 250r upper a arms work best with 400ex lower a arms because the uppers are adjustable. You'll also need the longer tie rods for #2 and #3

Hope this helps.

I have #3
