JDMbyBlood · 12-23-2009, 02:05 AM

Looking to order the complete MAX multi link set up for my s13. A customer complained that there were issues with fitment with Tein Coil overs and the MAX ruca. I email MAX and received this reply:

basically we designed it to have loads of clearance for anything out there but someone complained that had teins

I have no idea what their ride height settings or alignment settings were - did not see a picture - but apparently there is a problem with tein although there is a possibility that the settings on that particular car were not helping the clearance

for example the ruca is designed to go on lowered cars with about -1* camber
but if you tried to do massive negative camber or ride high it would not promote good clearance.

I never really thought much about it because most customers that come here sell their teins for our coilovers anyhow.

Im sure this completely undefinitive answer does not help you make a decision but that's the truthful course of events.

Can anybody verify that there is issues with fitment? I'd really like to go with MAX if I can, but wanted to double check with anyone that may be using Tein Coil overs with the MAX ruca.
Thanks....
