ruca question........

[ale89se]

can you please tell me what kind of ruca you are running and what the max camber setting is. thanks.

I've got the SPL parts (chromoly) RUCAs. I've had it since they came out, very high quality. Leaving it at stock size (lined up next to the stock RUCA with even treads on the inside and outside of the RUCA), I had around -2.85* just by lowering so there was room for much more if you wanted it. Definitely in excess of -3*. Hope this helps.

max camber depends heavily on ride height

[Dori Dori]

^Yeah, that's what I was eluding to by telling him after lowering.

If you're planning on setting your coilovers up monster truck style, you're not gonna crazy negative rear camber.

[ale89se]

those are the ones i was thinking about getting actually. i just wanna make sure they can help me fit these.....zerothread?id=163836

thank you for the info.

[chmercer]

you can fit thoes with stock rucas and a pull, usually rucas are used to remove camber, not add it, if you slam an s chassis you will usually end up with like 4+ degrees of rear camber

[ale89se]

damn i didn't know that! thanks for the info. the front responds the same way? i guess i had it figured backwards. i thouht the lower that it went the more neg your camber got.

[chmercer]

yes, the more you lower your car, the lower your camber goes, goes past zero and into negative camber, but most of the time people just say you gain more camber (meaning negative camber). since almost no cars run positive camber it can generally be assumed that when somone says camber they mean it to be negative.

and yes the fronts will also camber in as you lower the car

[ale89se]

trully thank you for the info.

S13s don't have the Mega camber gain that S14s... neither do they have the mega toe gain.

tucking 17in tire on Stock links will give you about 3 Camber. and nearly half a degree of Total toe with the links maxed out for less camber.

Doing that on an S14 gets you Josh SPL "I'll just replace my tires every 200miles" aligment.

To give you an example I have a 95 with all mods in my sig. I'd say I have about a 3-3.5" drop from stock height and I have about 3 degrees of negative camber (in the rear). Like someone else said as well you get a little bit of neg toe as well but that can be corrected by the stock bolts on the subframe that connect your toe arms to the subframe. RUCA will help your rear tires sit level on the ground again. The fronts dont neg camber nearly as bad as the rears but then I'm talking S14 so take that for what it's worth.

Yeah I have to agree with ddgsxr on the rear gaining more neg. camber than the front when you lower it. When I first lowered my S14 the rear end had way more negative camber than the front.

If it matters any:I have battle version ruca's set at -2.0, I don't know what the max setting is but I know you can return it to 0degrees
