Wicked Nissan Rear Upper Camber Arms Kit-240sx S14 RUCA:eBay Motors (item 120463158897 end time Sep-25-09 12:48:42 PDT)

This is the link to ebay link, hows are these arms holding up for you guys who are running them? I use to run powertrix ruca's and they were pretty darn good until i put way too heavy stuff in my trunk and went over a pot hole and snapped my passenger side arm. I got them for around the same price as these wicked tuning ruca's. Just want some opinons, since im not trying to spend too much for a set of arms as i need money to tune my ka-t. thanks in advanced

kuruptR · 09-02-2009, 05:11 PM

the joint looks like poop, your prolly gonna end up snapping these ones too

5t341tH · 09-02-2009, 06:16 PM

i had the toe rods on my old car and they bent.
my fault tho. i was too low and it slammed against my subframe
still worked tho!

SilviaSR20DET · 09-03-2009, 01:37 PM

hmm might give it a try than, 100 shipped is a great deal for ruca's. Lots of honda's seem to run them fine so its worth a shot...

*Touge Noob S13* · 09-03-2009, 01:55 PM

Crap arms, save your money and get something thats actually worth it.

SilviaSR20DET · 09-03-2009, 05:41 PM

how about spc arms are they good?

xavier240 · 09-03-2009, 06:29 PM

kazama look good butt they cost

SilviaSR20DET · 09-04-2009, 03:53 PM

yeah not lookin to spending that much for arm's still researching for a decent priced but good quality arm.

*s13silvia123* · 09-04-2009, 03:56 PM

SPL suspension MOFOS the best there is. there shouldnt another thread like this cause its been mention already

sideways7 · 09-04-2009, 08:07 PM

I would never trust anything named Wicked. That name gives me douche chills.

Just save up a little more and buy something quality. You'll be greatful you did.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 09-04-2009, 08:17 PM

SPL if you want superb quality.

Powered by Max if you want cheap, yet decent.

Kazama/Cusco if you have the money.

kalypso123 · 09-04-2009, 08:32 PM

Or custom made if you're really baller!

garagelu · 09-04-2009, 09:11 PM

There is no point in paying the money for japanese brands like cusco. SPL and Battle Version are made in the USA so cost is cheaper and quality is just as high.

I have Battle Version RUCA and haven't had one problem out of them.

C-unit · 09-06-2009, 01:52 AM

Meant it in the "if you like to pay more because of the name" sense.

Just go SPL and be done with it.

*94cc0rd* · 09-06-2009, 02:35 AM

i agree.. ^^

i wish i went with all SPL arms... i have SPL tension rods... so beefy!

jamg · 09-06-2009, 02:35 AM

you can replace the heim joints on those cheap arms, if you don't want for it to fail

It's not just the heim joints themselves.

Welding has something to do with it too.

Ebay arms are notorious for having shitty welds.

I for one wouldn't trust shitty ebay arms with decent quality heims...ever.

Don't care what anybody says.

Do it right or do it twice.

It's pretty fucking simple.

C-unit · 09-06-2009, 03:10 AM

^ exactly. Why cheap out and do it twice when shit breaks. Just spend the extra couple hundred and get some quality parts to begin with. Save your headache in the future.

For those that say Ebay arms are good and you never have any problem, you are either don't drive your car hard enough or you simply too dumb to notice the different.
