the RUCA thread.

Post by **lucky7** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 10:23 pm

i want to know what RUCA's you're running, where you got them, how much you paid, and how you like them. im in the market for some, as im in dire need for an alignment. thanks.

Post by **ddgsxr504** » Sat Jun 30, 2007 10:28 pm

Uhh.. search lazy

On the fo real though... if you have the $$$ I say go with SPL those are beefy as all hell. Run about $250ish from SPL parts.

I myself am on a budget so I'm going with Battle Version, I figure Alex has his sh*t wired and I don't track the snot out of my car so they will do.

I got a set from ProjectNissan for $120. I like them and I've had them on for a couple of months now with no problems so far.

Post by **lucky7** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 7:55 am

im seeing alot of full circle ruca's and half circle's. obviously the full circles look alot sturdier than the others. but for example, SPL's are $250 and a full circle. cusco's are $350 and the half circle. then i see them in aluminum and steel. i really thought this could be more of a refrence thread for alot of people, but obviously it didnt take off like i had planned. oh well, thanks for your responses guys.

http://www.bings.ca check it out, his multi link is arguable the best in the market.

Post by **turbo2nr** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 8:24 am

full circle is s13 ruca half circle is s14 ruca. i dont htink you can use a s13 ruca on a s14....

id go with spl>cusco>kazama>battle version>e-gay>ect...

Post by **ddgsxr504** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 8:39 am

SPL makes half circle ones for the S14. Also if possible I would get steel. Aluminum is weak for suspension parts.

Post by **lucky7** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:33 am

that makes sence since the OEM S14 ruca is the half circle. i think pictures on websites confused me. but yeah, i was definately thinking the same thing. i'd find steel before aluminum.

I have the JIC MAGIC RUCA's, i picked them up from heavy throttle. I think I paid 329. They are excellent quality, I have been running them for almost 2 years now and never had ANY problem.

Megan Racing, very nice fully adjustable no problems so far very, very sturdy.

Moved to tires/wheels/brakes/suspension.

I use SPL -- it's been almost 2 years, they've held up well but the surface finish is chipping/rusting...

Post by **95_240** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 4:45 pm

Spl doesn't actually make RUCA's for the S14 the ones they sell are cusco's. I have had mine for two years with no problems.

Do you have a link to said DMAX? When you say full set are talking all of the rear links toe/traction/ruca?

You no like Kazama? Their ish is pretty beefy.

Lucky, yes, SPL sells the Cusco ones. I got mine from them almost 3 years ago and not even a budge out of them. The pillowball ends are really, really well sealed and it's top notch quality, just what you'd expect from both Cusco and SPL. Steer clear from the cpark and eghey crap, i've seen a number of cracked arms in person.

Yup. So far the arms on my Z are Peak Performance. Beefy as hell and uses top quality ends (Auroras). I plan on getting thier traction and RUCA for my Z when the time comes. I have other friends running the RUCAs and they have had no complaints whatsoever.

Post by **silnismo** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 8:46 am

u guys probably kno this but, new company deput called MAX PERFORMANCE. im giving them a try...

uhh.. they look kind of wierd. Almost like they aren't lined up right and also the rod end area of the arm looks canted up as well.
