Hey ppls, well I searched and cant really find what I really need. I was wondering if it is "required" to get RUCA if u are gonna get coilovers. I will be lowering the car about 2" in the front and 1.6" in the back. I will be using the MR coilover for DD and for the canyons.

Thanks.

no, you do not. with my rear dropped 1.5", the minimum camber i could run was -2*, which i am not too worried about. the front is dropped about 2" and i am running -1.5*. anymore on the rear and you may want to start looking into RUCAS.

you dont really "need it"

unless you care about tire wear. Cuz it will wear on the inside faster regardless.

Let it camber in a little bit, better handling around the corners.

Not only will you need rucas to adjust your camber. Once you adjust your camber, you'll come to find that you'll need toe rods to adjust your toe. Then again, a 2" drop isn't going to affect your camber or toe too much, but you probably won't be satisfied with a 2" drop on a 240. So if you're only dropping it 2" then no you don't need rucas, but if you want to drop it more than 2", I suggest rucas and toe rods.

even if he does get rucas his wheels will be sunk, stock alloys aren't going to sit too much more flush with camber alone ;)

werd, i dropped mine 2" and it looked a lot better, but it just didnt do it for me. so i'm upgrading to coilovers as soon as i'm done with my turbo kit.

You dont need them but if you had the money it would be best that way you can adjust your camber. Rather be safe than sorry

You will need RUCAs AND Toe Rods if you ever go lower or you will be in for a nice surprise when you want to align the car. For your 2" drop though, camber bolts should be ok.

For peace of mind, you should just get the RUCAs if you plan on altering your ride height frequently, or at all.

I did, and I don't regret it.
