SPL or Cusco

Everything else blows except for maybe... MAYBE... Battle Version.

anything less than 250$ is pretty well Garunteed to be Potmetal and have Industrial Rod Ends.

Don't be cheap on things that keep the wheel attached to the car.

You can try Peak Performance stuff. Awesome stuff.

perhaps but like i said i dont really have 300 on ruca's alone i'd love to but i dont

Then don't buy them, your car is 500,000,000 times more likely to endup in a ditch because your crapped out rusted TC Sportline arms broke than because you ran 2.75 camber.

They make RUCA's? Never seen them, but then again I only saw their products on Phase2motortrend.

I'd go with SPL, they are the 'cheapest' you can go without destroying your car or dying in a ball of flames.

Those parts you mentioned may be cheaper and there may be people who have them on their cars, but you can't put a price on a warranty or customer service. I believe 100% that if you were to contact them after your purchase about some quality-related issue they would never call you back.

This also begs the question why you bought coilovers that drastically affect the suspension geometry of the car--when you can't afford a decent set of ruca's. But to each their own. Good luck.

SPL's RUCA are the Cusco ones. They are damn nice though, i trust my life to them every day Plus the adjustment range on them is crazy. Best, and last pair you will ever need to buy.

[McRussellPants]

Only the S14 RUCAS are from Cusco.

Which, is because the Cusco S14 RUCAs are the best, hands down.

[SR22DET]

the reason i bought coilovers is because i didnt have the z at the moment and now that i have a z and a 240 it's hard but i dont think i'll be going with them i think i will save the extra hundred and go with spl only due to their kick *** service i run their tie-rod/z32 inner and i love it quality is great i just think the z will have to be stock for some time

[elwesso]

I have the SPL ones on my car and theyre the way to go........!

[240sxjeff]

I agree with everyone else on the Cusco arms. I was in the same positition as you, I just ended up saving a few more dollars and getting the Battle version because I got them at a decent price. But if I wouldn't have found a good deal Cusco's would be on my car as we speak, actually they would probally be sitting in my room next to all the other crap

Good! Believe me, you won't be disappointed.

i totally agree to that cuz i thought of it and like someone up there ^^^ said, i do want to keep my wheels on the car

[SR22DET]

hey i was wondering if the s14 rucas would work on an s13 chassis cuz one of my friends is selling his tanabe's for cheap but they're for an s14

[McRussellPants]

They Shouldn't....

I've heard of a couple people using them but they drag on the shock or something.

[ArticDragon192]

Behold the peak performance rucas.http://www.peak-performance.net/content/view/59/81/

[naed240sx]

Why are those listed for s13/s14? s13 and s14 rucas are supposed to be different from on another.

[McRussellPants]

They look decent, but they're made of steel and the rod end looks pretty small.

Even their tension Rods have a huge beefy shank but then it looks like they milled a failure point into it.

In Conclusion: SPL still ownz all.

[corn322]

Peak RUCAs are made from .180 wall steel and powdercoated for strength.You won't find anything tougher!

I laughed.

[naed240sx]

lol me too. I think I am going to powerdercoat my wheels so that they will be stronger.
