I have reviews, but nothing that would help the sale of these arms.

Search motoria arms...you'll see.

These are really usafe arms and are harmful to us. I would highly reconsider selling these.

Just like Carlos said, search before buy. They are the same arms that are sold on ebay by SSAC, if I recall correctly.

I haven't had a problem with mine, although I swapped out the heims and am running boots.

The only failure I've seen with them is with the S14 RUCA (which I've been running and just keeping an eye on), which has a cast half-loop. Even then, the fracture appeared (photos weren't high quality) as though it was caused by bind.

Anyways, I've done a couple trips through NYC, and have a few hundred street miles, plus a few sessions of autocross where the car saw lateral G's in the 1.4 range (including an event at Ripken Stadium where one giant bump was bottoming my car out). No issues so far....

My car is actually getting aligned with these as we speak. If i stop posting daily, then i died.
I got all of that good stuff for less than $150 shipped off e-bay and they sent S14 RUCA arms in the box too..i guess it was a thank you present.
I was actually thinking about filling them with the same foam they use to reinforce chassis with & then covering them with rust preventative paint. If i do there will be a write up.

It's really not worth it to try and fill them, unless you're doing it solely to prevent rust. Everything but the RUCAS arm should not see a bending stress, which is why the stock arms aren't very "beefy" to begin with.

The big thing with any spherical bearing setup is maintenance. Pretty much every failure out there has had a rusty rod end.

motoria arms are what ssac claims to sell.

Looks similar, but couldn't be more different. NAMS is top-rate, no-expense-spared, and is sported on the fastest time attack cars in Japan - the question is not whether these pieces are as high quality as Nagisa Auto, it's whether or not these will hold up and give the adjustability that's needed ~ so far, it seems, survey says yes.

I have all motoria arms as well on my drift car. For the price they cant be beat! Much better over stock and also give you all the adjustability you could ever need for a fraction of the price of battle version or tein. I have the traction rods, rear toe rods, RUCA, and front tension rods and tein tie rods....great setup!

these are from before my traction rods came in.....

Either what you're saying is slightly off, or the pic in question isn't NAMS. The heims on the NAMS look like the same necked heims that came on my Motoria arms.... which for all intensive purposes are junk. They're probably fine as long as you take decent care of them, but I'd upgrade them given the choice.

The material on the Motoria stuff seems fine. I actually like the fact that they concentrate the threaded portion away from the bushing (which is where you'll have bushing bind resistance). I'd like to get more qualitative results when I disassemble my suspension for the winter, so if I get the chance I might take them into work and do some material testing on the rockwell tester, and FPI my RUCAs to see if the 1000 miles I've put on them has done anything.


The Motoria heims are M16x2.00 thread on everything but the S13 RUCAs. My heims are from Midwest Control Products (www.midwestcontrol.com). The heims on McMaster seem to be aimed towards industrial use. The MCP heims I bought are the DXTM "performance" heims, which I found when I saw them used on a Locost build. The DXTM-16's are rated at over 17,000 lbs, with "excellent" corrosion and wear resistance. They seem to be holding up well so far.


Regardless, KEEP YOUR HEIMS CLEAN. You can buy into the "don't boot your heims because trapped dirt causes wear", or you can boot and grease and attempt to match OEM reliability like I did.... either way: always keep an eye on your heim joints and lean them as much as possible.
