Rucas with lots of negative camber - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

scooby steve33 · 04-19-2010, 11:15 PM

I am in the process of getting my car to a roller however im running into a problem in the rear suspension. I understand the point of adjustable ruca however i have read up that most of them are to "fix" the problem or bringing it as close to zero as they can. My PBM are are rubbing the coilover and im putting the stock arms back on. Im going to need a LOT or rear camber so the question is arm there any aftermarket arms that will allow for a lot of rear camber? in the neighborhood of -4/-5 or more?

SPARK NOTES

PBM ruca is rubbing
stock arm is back on
need at least -5 degrees
what Rucas should i buy if any?

why the hell do you need -5 degrees? PBM makes some of the best parts around and ive seen rediculous camber and ride height on their parts without problem. Are you sure the RUCA is the problem and not something else making the whole setup worse

yeah I doubt the ruca is the problem post some pics of your situation so we can see whats going on.

Why not just run the stock ruca?

I think your problem is that you possibly have s14 PBM rucas on a S13?
Thats what im guessing? If so, then yea it will rub..

Pbm rucas have clearance issues with some brands of coilovers. That is probably your problem
