[teruya01]

would you grab these cheap ass RUCA from ebay?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7952837130&category=33591&sspagename=WDVW

when it comes to RUCA does it really matter if its Silk, jic, battleversion etc? its not like its coilovers or something important right? comments?

I wouldn't cause those are some straight no-namers haha.

Give Luke at Andys Auto Sport a call (800)419-1152 he can order up some "PowerTrix" parts which he's using and I will be using soon. From what I've seen PowerTrix is a cheap alternative to name brand stuff, and the joints, etc don't look bad at all. Real nice quality stuff, and the price is right :drool:

[s13irdie2]

no, you get what you pay for. im happy with the spl's and think they have pretty damn good prices.

All arms will make noise if they are not maintained properly.
Power trix arms are of fine quality, they have been used on 3200Lb 300zx's for years with no breakage, or bending issues.

yeah, the powertrix stuff all looks good, and the guy is really cool to deal with...he messed up my order on rotors a while back and hooked me up for his mistake...

Funny to see people bashing Ebay stuff and recommending PowerTrix, they are the same. The stuff that goes to Ebay is purchased before final detailing and painted with a substandard coating, but the parts/welds are indentical.

And to the original poster, this has been discussed here several times recently, you could have found more info without having to start a new thread.

ive been saying they are the same for a while now

battleversion, ebay, powertrix, c-tune, raceonusa

they are all the same but with different finishes. doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out. of course the people who are selling them will say they are not the same, because they dont want to lose their sale. hell they are all priced the same too if you look carefully.

it goes for their ruca, tc rods etc etc

[teruya01]

thank you. im going to buy the cheap ebay/powertrix crap and make sure i install it properly and grease it up a bit. -J

Alex Pfieffer (sic) says SPL stuff is Made in Taiwan and that his stuff is better!
