s14 ruca tips

[ehp]

hey zilvia i just installed coilovers and went to the alignment shop and they recommended rucas for better camber. some cheaper ones i am considering are megan racing and circuit sports. would any of you guys recommend these or should i just put a little mofe and get stance or pbm? thanks

[zooopreme]

SPL if you want spherical, SPC if you want daily driver friendly. CS, PBM, and Stance are fine as well. Wouldn't trust Megan although some people use them with no problems.

Forgot to mention the range of adjustability, from what I've seen Stance, PBM, and SPL have a pretty good range of adjustability.

[ehp]

have you ever heard a bad review on circuit sports suspension? i am a firm believer in do it once and do it right but i also am a college student haha

[xoxide]

Circuit Sports are decent quality arms. I highly doubt you would have any problems with them.

[racepar1]

If you're going to be cheap, get the Circuit Sports. Megans historically suck ballsack. From my experience the CS arms are not bad...

I'm not even going to bother to argue about the supposed "quality" of SPC. I'll get in an e-fight...

You could probably search for 5 seconds on google and find all the answers you're looking for...

i have the circuit sports rucas and toes on my car. i daily them and take them to the track at least once a month and i havent had any problems

[ehp]

thanks for your input guys. im gonna buy the circuit sports and possibly upgrade later if necessary

You should also get toe rods at the same time as RUCAs. I would definitely recommend PARTS SHOP MAX or SPL.

Check out the isis RUCAS, they are cheap and effective. Also ISIS sells a kit which contains all the arms you need. so if you buy that you can properly adjust the suspension on all four corners, not just the rears

I've installed ISIS arms on a customer's car and they are crap. All the brackets were welded crooked and the welds looked like shit. I would definitely not reccomend ISIS.

hmmmm i also was considering the circuit sports kit too on 240sxmotoring but i would have extra tension rods lyin around haha

the alignment shop told me the same thing that the toe i have might not align very well with the ruca and will mess up my alignment. thank you for confirming what they said

[InsTanCeZ]

You can adjust the front without any arms. The only reason to get tension rods is to replace the crappy old bushings with spherical bearings, it's not really recommended to adjust caster through the tension rods anyways. All you really need to fix alignment is RUCAs and toe rods. Tension and traction rods just make the suspension feel a lot better, they don't really help with alignment, well static alignment anyways.

[ehp]

negative. but nor have i heard anyone vouching circuit sports. may not have looked hard enough but ehh

[lude4life13]

If you are going to get isis you might as well buy the no name ones i just took off my car for $40. Had them on the car when i bought it and took them off when i upgraded. Pm me

[aga]

mine's a daily driven car, i was thinking about cusco arms etc...they might be expensive, but the ball joints have rubber covers to protect them from dust mud etc, and well, cusco is always top quality. what d'ya think guys?

[!Zar!]

Personally I would choose between SPL, PBM, or maybe even Stance.

For you, why don't you just get PBM since you are in socal?

I had all circuit sports arms on my car when I was in college. My car was daily driven, and I also tracked it occasionally. I never had any issues with the arms, and the shop that did my alignment said they were easy to adjust. I recommend using nicer hardware than what comes with CS arms. If not, check your hardware from time to time to make sure everything is tight. Probably not a bad idea no matter what hardware you use.

Now that I'm out of school, I've recently replaced everything with SPL arms. I haven't driven with the SPL arms yet, so I can't give a review.

you sir are awesome! thanks for your review. what events did you do with the CS setup?

[!Zar!]

Please don't.

A majority of the thread tells you what to do, but all you focused on is the one person who said otherwise.

It sounds like your mind and wallet is already set on what you want.

Don't post questions asking for guidance only to be blind to the mass majority of answers.

I did about 10 drift events with them. I had 265/18 tires and was making about 320whp when I had them, so they took some abuse.

Needless to say the SPL stuff is a lot nicer, but I also paid over twice what I paid for the CS arms.

I say get CS if that's what your budget allows, and then you can always sell them and upgrade down the road.

[ehp]

how am i being blind when there are multiple people who agreed that CS suspension was decent? my car has more priorities than getting the best suspension arms in the world. not to mention i make 8 dollars an hour at work lol not really smart for me to be getting spl or cusco suspension

[Hoffman5982]

I make 8 bucks an hour and currently getting 20 hours a week and have SPL arms in the rear while maintaining a decent savings account. There's no excuse for lack of patience.

Let me start off with saying, SPL is a great product. In the current market, I think they're product is one of the best.

Okay. Now, I don't think there's anything wrong with going with another brand either especially if they are tried and proven to withstand the abuse of DD and track driving. Read that carefully, I'm not even considering ISIS, ebay, Godspeed, or whatever brand has cheap hardware and shittastic welds.

I've had SPL arms on my car and have friends that own non-SPL but non-ISIS or ebay shit arms and if the bearings are good quality and have free movement, there isn't THAT much of a difference except price and brand.

I'm sure you're glad you're happy with your purchase. But people with sub-SPL brand arms are probably just as happy with their choice because it's suits them.

There's no need to point out/get on people's lack of conformity to your choices.

[!Zar!]

If someone is daily driving their car it is more of a reason to go with high quality parts.

Those ISIS arms look no different than what you can find on Ebay, or from Megan Racing.

After a few uses those links will turn into wet floppy donky dicks.

You all are so fucking poor that you insist on trying to buy the best of the worst.

I definitely get what you're saying. I wasn't trying to say that SPL is the only way to go. My point was that people claim they don't make enough to afford quality arms, when the truth is that they're just impatient

[e1_griego]

SPL or BV. Both use high-quality rod ends, and, even better, they're 5/8" which means if/when they need replacement you can order from summit/jegs/racerpartswholesale and them in 2 days (and for less than $50/ea).
