When I started this thread, I was looking for some comments on how to incorporate S10 UBJs and LBJs in the my S10 spindle swap without the typical negative camber. (I'm several weeks away from from actually completing this).
Several good points have been made.
If you are concerned with keeping the factory geometry, then the Wilwood, Aerospace Components and Monza swap solutions are probably still better choices.
Those individuals who try the S10 swap obviously believe the safety and cost benefits are far greater than the pains they encounter from not enough adjustment after the swap.
I'm still convinced that relocating the S10 LBJ mounting is a feasible solution for those on a budget.... the LBJ is the only pivot point that the aftermarket or enthusiasts have not relocated in search of more adjustment. I'll probably still do it and post photos.
That being said, you guys also convinced me that the "holy grail" solution for the S10 spindle/S10 UBJ/S10 LBJ swap is those adjustable tubular control arms, because it is a true bolt-in solution with both camber and caster adjustability.
I think a lot of lot people would stand in line with Colin. In fact, these parts (where to get them and how much) is a topic worthy of it's own thread.
