Get a picture next time you have a rear wheel off the rear. Still a little surprised those would clear the strut spring plate.

On to SPL with orders for 3 custom sets. I'll get back to the interested parties ASAP.

Maxnix did this ever go through? if so a little info would be great thanks

No, it did not. Prototypes were made, but the offset was not enough and hit the spring. We only had 3 verifiable customers, so no further attempt was made.

Check with Audiovisionary33. I doubt his suggested arms would work on a stock spring set up. The FGY33 and G50 vary enough that the suspension parts are not interchangeable although the designs are virtually identical for the rear suspension.

The stock arm is forged steel, so carefully rewelding an extension is somewhat perilous.

Any adjustable suspension arm made for the s14 will bolt onto a Y33. My room mate has coilovers and adjustable arms from a s14 all around on his y33.

As for G50s, they use s13 adjustable arms. The only difference in *most, is that the s14 toe rod uses a 40mm bushing and the s13 uses a 30mm bushing.

As for people trying to run adjustable RUCAs on stock struts, maybe try running an older s13 double sided RUCA? Or maybe flip the s14 ones backward. Or maybe even the PBM bent rods will help clear?

1.) True, but that is no good is it interferes with the springs.

2.) This thread is about OEM springs and shocks.

3.) Not so far. PBM might be worth a try. It is difficult to judge the geometry.
