just get s13 rucas.

im not sure if theyre interchangable, but the normal rule is to just get what's made for the car.

theres nothing wrong w/ being different but save it for other aspect osf ur car. something important like suspension shouldnt be picked out just cuz no one else has it. if u want the look of the s14 rucas though the cusco s13 rucas are the same design as the s14 rucas. just dont convert to drum brakes or anything like that just because its different

something as important as your suspension shouldnt be compromised by parts that werent designed for it. and, yeah Cusco makes the same single-sided RUCA for the s-13. check out intense motorsports.

i dont have a problem being different so long as it doesnt conflict with the proper operation of my car.

buying something as critical as a suspension part solely because you "like the way they look and want 2 b different" is probably the most ignorant statement i have heard in a while.

its funny because the whole bandwagon thing spawned an anti-bandwagon movement where everyone is the same for trying to be different.

Just so everyone knows, you can get the half style for the S13 too, that's not a design difference in the Chassis. Manufacturers do that to make changing struts and what not less of a hassle. If you're going to compare the two parts, you need to look at both OEM pieces.

*edit*Bings ad for their RUCAS states "The arc of the arm is such that it will fit every 240sx from 1989 to 1998. These arms are also excellent for your R32 skyline (RWD only) or Z32 300ZX."

No they don't I have them. They look like the SPL ones above, only they are the same blue colour. They are 2 sided, iirc the SPL ones are cusco 'inspired'.

good call man. compromising saftey and function so it "looks cool" is flat out stupidity.
