Your going to need '03 and up blaster spindles to do a simple bolt on and go. Some people will cut the upper ball joint off of the blaster and weld a warrior one in its place to get the warrior/banshee spindle to work.

kfx400 rims are different and won't bolt up
 
The 03-06 setup is a direct bolt on.You can get banshee spindles to work no problem.If it is stock follow this link.Only modding is to the banshee spindle.I am doing this to my parts blaster I am throwing together and just got a full shee setup from spindle to master cylinder for $102 shipped.Alot cheaper than 03-06 setup.Hope this helps.

Only thing I found trying to put banshee fronts on is that the shock don't bottom out the bottom ball joint his before the end of the shock travel and the camber is out and no way to adjust it
 
Do the shocks bottom out if you are using the top ball joint off of the warrior? Where does the ball joint hit / which ball joint? Does it matter what shocks your using?
 
I had problem with the bottom one binding. I run +2 armadillo a-arms and they would not work. I got a pair of 05 fronts and work great paid alittle more than $100 but well worth it. with the banshee my camber would have to be adjusted allot so I was worried about bending ball joints as well.
sometimes it's just cheaper in the long run to spend alittle extra up front. I would not recomond the cheap route if you want to race it. never never go cheap on supension.

Agreed, whatever a arms you go with. Talk to the manufacture about your brake setup, and see what they say. When I bought my SMS arms, I was going to do warrior brakes. Then I was advised that I would never get my camber lower than -7 deg. with their arms. They told me I was better off going with Blaster spindles so I bought 03 hydros.
