i bought the godspeed sway bar,ruca's,torsion rod kit on ebay. I paid like 300 for them. the get an alignment and have it set the way you want.

You're getting uneven tire wear due to bad toe alignment.

Although I probably should reword that.
But, if you're lowered a lot and don't have adjustable rear toe rods, you're going to get premature wear.

Agreed if its not lowered you need to have it aligned and they use the cam bolts to adjust that. If lowered you need RUCA's

Sliderman- Did you have any problems with the godspeed rucas hitting the strut? Mine cleared but were very close, when I took them for a test drive I looked and my damn strut now has a dent in it. No bid deal cause they are blown anyways but I'm trying to get it worked out before I dent the new set.

OutToWin- Can you only use adjustable RUCA's when the car is lowered? I'm wondering if that is my problem, didn't really need the adjustability but figured I would just upgrade to avoid replacing all of the bushings in the stock ones. I measured bolt hole to bolt hole so they are the same length as the stock ones but I just can't figure out why they are so close.

No but most guy arent dialing in negative camber more than the cam bolt allows with stock ride height. FYI I got those RUCAS too and no issues with my coilovers.

i didnt have any fitment issues with my rucas. if its just a little dent try the megan coilovers i know the diameter of the base isnt as large as stock. my shocks are also blow just fyi.

Upper control arms + toe rods.

RUCAS stands for Rear Upper Control Arm.
