hey ppl question

- i have hicas (not in use) and my rear tires keep balding on the inside because of my apexi coilovers, will i have a problem using thoes rear camber kits because of my HICAS?

i have 18 inch rims if that makes any diferences

off topic:
anyone have 18inch tires for sale?

Using a rear upper camber arm (RUCA) should correct your negative camber, HICAS or not.

A Spec Products · 11-30-2005, 11:42 PM

you are confusing camber with toe i believe

like he ^ said above, just use ruca

any brand will do the job, just depends on your budget

rucas are nowhere near the hicas rack

- the rear wheels have a noticably large amount of camber
- ill have no problems installing the RUCA with my hicas?

pic of my car... sorrry i dont a pic of the rear wheels yet.

what front bumper is that? looks like an fd...
toe kills tires when there is excessive camber. get rucas and and alignment. you'll be golden

yes, as i stated above, RUCA has nothing to do with hicas and is not near the toe links, i.e you will not have problems. you're probably maxed out at 3-3.5 degrees on stock arms right now, go get an alignment after like said above.

that bumper looks like a nismo knockoff

what he said. probably at about -3.

and that is a nismo knockoff, although nismo never made a style like that for s13. that is taken from the s14 nismo bumper

i think it only looks like that cuz its the front view...could that be an URA with the extended nose?

Chrischeezer · 12-01-2005, 06:06 PM

yeah its the cheep nismo knockoff...i replaced the hood both fenders and bumper

-i just orderd the ruca 130 shipped... hope it works... now i need tires...
