I'm in a market for S13 RUCA and this is what I've found so far.

Motoria on eBay: Cheap and looks like SPL RUCA, but I doubt that quality is as good as SPL ones. Looks thick and well made though. Look at the price BTW.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...36409

SPL RUCA: I know this is a good one, but way out of my budget.http://www.splparts.com/Parts/...k.asp

Megan Racing: Looks goodhttp://www.tougefactory.com/sh...chCat=

Courtesy Nissan and Project Nissan: These 2 look same to me. They don't look strong.http://www.courtesyparts.com/M...1101R

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...60857

My question is... Motoria will be okay? I think no one can beat the price. About $82 shipped. What you guys think? Anyone has experience?

I found info on installation, but no reviews.http://forums.freshalloy.com/s...+ruca

Any input would be appreciated...

I wouldn't try them.. I would opt to go for the Megan Racing ones. They are just a few dollars more and a more reputable/larger company.

SPL are probably your best bet, or if you happen to come across some cusco's cheaper than SPL, jump on those

Pillowball mounts are not designed for street use in the first place. That being said, nothing prevents them from being usable and helpful on the street.

This also means that you DO NOT want to cheap out on critical suspension parts when buying aftermarket.

Get SPL or cusco or battle version. SPL is best deal and extremely high quality. Any other part is gonna be really risky, and never confidence inspiring.

if you are in the market but cant afford them, then you're prolly not in the market for the proper ones, as previously stated, what is the reason behind getting RUCAs anyway? camber or do you just want something a little more stable? because in that case you can opt for a bushing kit. Its cheap and proven to work well..

Dropped by Courtesy Nissan the other day and picked up a pair. Talked to a couple of guys over there and they said they sell a lot, but haven't heard a single complaint about it. Besides, many guys at Courtesy Nissan run them with no problem for several years. Top Speed makes them BTW. Take a look at some pics. I can return them if I want though. Please let me know what you guys think. I need it for camber, daily driving and occasional auto cross.

Take off the endlink cover and take pics of that.

Those are known to be crappy rucas. I would never trust them.
