Stance GR+ PRO and PBM ruca clearance issues - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Anybody else have this problem? Seems like the collar is way too big, and there's not way it'll clear the ruca.

Looks like it may be on the wrong side, try switching them around. GL!

Seems like clearance is worse if they are in front of the coilover. Best clearance is achieved when the ruca is upside down( ie: it would bottom out on the frame rail)

I think he might be right

Just figued it out, it does in fact go in front of the coilover, just with the stances being so chunky, you have to mount the top first, then raise all the lower arms with a jack into position.

Fits great now.

so what about guys that rock spl or cusco, that go all the way around with the ruca's...would they have the same problem? or are the pieces not as thick, because they go all the way around and don't need to be as beefy. ..?

They're made wider, they're plenty of space around the coilover on those (S13 style)

I saw this and was like "nahhhh, PBM and Stance are WAAYYY too popular for me to just now be seeing this problem"...

Glad you got it straightened out ~

Damn, I got scared there for a minute as I just put on GR+'s and have max rucas on the way. Good to hear no problems with it afterall.

Z33dori · 07-21-2008, 09:26 PM

Ninjabread · 07-22-2008, 12:32 AM

PBM only makes s14 style. besides, s14 fits both.

EJ253 · 07-22-2008, 03:39 AM
