PBM v1 S13 ruca/coilover rubbing

[babowc]

thanks for the compliment..
car looks like shit in the front right now..
I did a bad job of pulling the front fenders and it turned out ugly. Along with many dings and dents all over the car, haha.

I'll get ya some pictures of it later though.

yeah I don't see why it should rub even with excess camber.

I know you dont see why the old ruca cant do -4 camber but that does not change the fact that they just dont. You also appear unwilling to correct your camber so the only other option seems to be try a new set of arms.

Our V3 ruca has much more clearance around the coilover because we designed them with consideration of compatibility with other brands of coilovers. I have a set of unpainted arms here you could try for free if you want.

Those are the ''skinny shakochos.'' OP is havin trouble with the same brand coilovers as the arms. Exactly what is the limitation? They made a part that dont work and we bought it on faith.

What if auto makers never did recalls on faulty parts?

Is it possible that you are using an s14 ruca and not an s13? Most s13 rucas I've seen completely encircle the coilovers.

btw..
PBM rucas are all "half-moon" styles.

s0apgun.. I want to run enough negative camber to fit my wheel/tire combo.. like LoanShark stated, they advertised the arms and coilovers for extra low applications. If I'm any lower from where I'm at, I'll be rubbing the shock casing, versus the collar. My car is currently pretty low too.. right about tucking a stretched 35 series tire.
