I'm wanting to build a set of RUCA's for my S14. Looking for some places online to purchase Heims and some weld in bungs. What size tubing did you go with? Any other tips are appreciated as well.

If you need to ask, then you shouldn't be doing it.

But... since i'm not a douche.
Heim joint/rose joint/spherical ball ends/etc companies:
Aurora, fk bearings, qa1, etc etc. Not in any specific order. Do research, find them. Not hard.
Threaded weld in bungs/ends websites:
speedwaymotors, jegs, jc whitney, etc etc. Again search, not hard.

pipe/tubing size... Look at the sizing of the threaded weld in bungs/ends and go from there.

Search before you post. K, thanks.

You can actually buy all the bearings/cups/locking sleeves from PSM to make your own.

When I did the set for my friends drift car I used the adjusters from a broken set of SPL arms. Also used the heims, and spacers. Tubing was 1-1/2 x .120 wall DOM. The yolks are 3/16" cold rolled.
One of the reasons I chose to make them instead of buying new was the setting that we run I was not comfortable with the amount of adjustment that off the shelf ones gave us.
