i am running an s-10 lowwer because thats what the dropspindle uses.
my upper is currently also an s-10.
my arms are not shortened at all but but i am running a 7.5" backspacing on a 20x8.5 rim.

did you have to modify the spindles for the s-10 upper ball joints or order the upper arm for the s-10 mount opposed to the mazda mount?Thanks.

I make mine with DOM tube, not pipe. they are available shorter and made to fit whatever spindles you need them for. 425 for the uppers and lowers with long travel balljoints.

and S-10 balljoints will fit the Toyota spindles. theres alos another GM balljoint that fits even better and its long travel.

no, the s-10 fit's very well into the mazda spindle,so i actually had to moify the arm to take the ball joint because it was origanally made for the stock mazda ball joint.i switched because i have my sway bar mounted to the upper C-arm and needed a stronger joint,i found that the s-10 ball joint was very benificial in that it's stonger, it has more travel and it has a longer stem which raises the c-arm a bit causeing it to go into negative camber slightly sooner which adds to some wheel clearance.i'd say it's a good idea to order you arms to take the s-10 ball joint from the get go.
i'd like to add that i have mike white to thanks for the idea of useing the s-10 upper.thanks for the help mike it worked out very well for me.

So Mr. Pimp-tastic, you are running S-10 upper and lower balljoints on a Mazda spindle then? I always thought you had Toy spindles.
The only thing is that I'm confused. From what I've been told, a Toy spindle won't take a upper Mazda balljoint. But from the posts in this thread, people are putting S-10 balljoints in Mazda and Toyota spindles, WTF?
