dont buy cheap ebay shit that will more then likley break

look into battle version spl cusco things like that quality products that are proven

yeah, I would definitely avoid any ebay suspension components. I have had my Battle Version RUCAs, toe links, TC Rods and traction rods for almost 2 years now and I haven't had a single problem.
Granted, they are on the pricey side, especially the RUCA's.

I bought some off Ebay, Can't remember the brand, like 2 years ago. Never had a problem.

megan ones are fairly good quality but the price is alot easier to swallow than cusco or something

[El Maestro]

yea because i know somethings you can buy from ebay where it really doesn't matter too much if its ebay or not... just wanted to see if the Rucas were something i shouldn't cheap out on. Just wanna know if they are weaker and bound to break.... i dont want to pay for a name.

[my S14]

i have an s14 but its all the same ebay stuff, i love them i mean im not hardcore street racing beating the shit out of my car but they work great and as a fare as adjusting them goes they could not have been designed much better. for the price i would go for it

[deuceforty]

they are kind of ebay, but a bit on the pricey side...

i got the Footwerks RUCAS from a buddy of mine, they are beefy as hell yet still lighter than stock, i have ran them on my drift car for about 7 months now and i have had no problems, no rust, everything is clean.


my megan tension rods however were covered in rust after a week and a half, then snapped... stay away from megan suspension arms, a buddy i know also had some fitment issues with the s13 rucas.

[theslows13]

[El Maestro]

I bit the bullet and purchased some v2 SPL rucas. They haven't come in yet but I know for sure I'm not going to have any problems with them. You gotta pay to play. Ebay is for cosmetic stuff I wouldn't trust my life with their suspension products or turbo stuff although I guess the intercoolers and exhausts aren't too bad either.

i got some silver ones on ebay over 4 years ago and they are still holding up with my locked diff. just fine.

Aceinthehole specials


Motoria arms with quality ends on them. ditch the POS they come with. doing good for aceinthehole, soon to be tried out by me.

Ebay stuff is hit or miss. Some may have no problems for the life of the arm but others may break the first week you have them installed.

But then again, higher quality arms have a chance of breaking also. The probability is just lower. I usually just save up and buy the higher quality arms. I bought my used Battle Version RUCA for 175 shipped.

Think of it this way

do you want that arm to break while you are doing 70mph in traffic?

Then think if the extra money is worth the insurance to you, to have a quality product.

If you decide it's not, I'm never going to Alabama.

PBM got's em. Good price, good quality but don't sit around because they will sell out and you'll have to wait. They got em now so get em while their hot.
