Help does anybody have a rear camber kit on their S14.

[Jbravos14]

Hi , I am looking for a rear camber kit for my S14 and I found some on EBAY named (godspeed). I was just wondering if any body has bought one from ebay and how does it work/if its hard to put on ? well thanks for your help

You have a couple of options, I'm not really sure what type of camber kit you are talking about (you should post a link to the ebay parts you found).

To keep it simple, I think you are talking about adjustable rear upper control arms. They replace stock upper control arms and can be adjusted, just make sure you're buying quality parts with very good ends.

And why are you looking to adjust camber, is your car lowered? Or are you just trying to correct a small alignment problem??

Yeah its lowered about 3 in to 3.25 in.

Well that low, I'm thinking you're looking for Rear Upper Control Arms (RUCA's). . . You would have to search to find reviews, I know alot of people on this forum have them. But I do not, and I don't want to suggest the pros and cons of the products that I've never used.

Sorry I can't be more help, Good luck!

when you're dealing with suspension arms, you dont want to cheap out. if one of them breaks while you are driving you will be in a world of ****. i've got the cusco RUCA's and they are beefy, well made, use good spherical bearings w/dust covers. they were not cheap, but i will never have to buy another set again and i never worry about them breaking. you get what you pay for, and if you're dealing with suspension, if a part breaks and you lose control of your car, it will cost you a lot more than the replacement of that part.

Yes I agree wholeheartedly with Bronze MFP, suspension parts are not something that you want to cheap out on. For the level of drop that you have on your car, you're definitely going to need RUCAs to correct the camber. I believe (someone correct me if i'm wrong), that those camber kits that companies sell, only compensate for maybe a 1-1.5 inch drop. I've never used camber kits though. I have one from Eibach, they kinda look like bolts, but with a convex groove in it. I'm not sure how reliable they would be, but i got it for free, so can't complain.

Thanks for your help.

i have the cusco RUCA on my car with a 2" drop all around. i had my car aligned and it only needed to be adjusted about 1.5 degrees out and it had plenty more to go. before i put them on i screwed them all the way out to see just how far it would go and how it worked. i would honestly say that when it was adjusted that it only went half way. the RUCA say that it can compensate for 1.75 plus or minus when in the middle so i figure that would be 3 degrees total.

mine were a pain to put on the stock mounting place was to narrow so i had to bend it out about 1/4"

hope that helps...i think i made some kind of sense

Thanks that made alot of sense. Thanks again
