i bought a s14 with unknown brand ruca's already on and bought and installed some megan toe arms. i tried to max the camber as much as the ruca's allow but i want more negative camber. to get more negative camber, do i buy better ruca's?

Let me guess: your pimp wheels dont fit, so instead of getting flared arches, you are willing to completely ruin your handling and your tires by setting camber to -15°.

Am i right ?

because with adjustable rucas, you should be able to put -5° with ease (which is already at least -3° too much)

Not that much.
Can anyone help me on how to pull my fenders?
I tried with a heat gun and roller but it wasn't flaring out. Maybe i didn't make my fenders hot enough idk? Help is appreciated

If you just need something like 1 or 2 cm, you can get a roll/flare. But dont expect to get more than that. To get more, you need to get overfenders fitted (by a pro, it requires cutting and welding in the rear ). You will not get a nice result by doing it yourself, it will be ugly unless you have some real skills. Even with a roller fender you can get quite crappy results.

Getting another set of wheels will be cheaper though...
