C-Tune Sportline Suspension Pieces
s13/s14 rear upper control arms $119 a set
s13/s14 rear forward links (traction rods) $116 a set
s13/s14 rear toe rods $150 a set
s13/s14 Front TC rods $119 a set
these are all equiped with zerk fittings for lubrication for long long life.

all of these are plus shipping though they are not that heavy so shipping is pretty inexpensive. I accept paypal for credit cards and U.S. postal money orders.
I do not have the pics of the TC rods, s14 rucas, or toe rods they will be posted up later, but they look very similar to the other stuff.
Have a happy Fourth of July everyone.
Yes this sale is through the next two weeks after the Fourth of July. happy buying everyone.

I am checking again but last I heard up to 2 1/2 degrees of camber adjustment if there is more I will post as soon as I know. These are so new I have not even had a chance to install a set on my car yet.

Any additional info about materials/construction of the bars? Or any reviews from people running these? They look a lot like the ones on eBay, and I've never heard anything about the quality of the bars, etc.

And can't wait for those other pics!

ok guys more info for you the rucas have up +4 -4 degrees of camber adjustment. I did get to drive a S14 equipped with all of these pieces and the car drove awesome. In fact ride was quite smooth and the car felt like it was on rails. The car I drove was in a photo shoot for the sept issue of Super Street.

these are nickel coated and they are steel. Warranty is as follows.
All items are warranted against material defects in workmanship. They are not however warrantied in cases of misuse or damage due to accident.
I.E. inspect them before installing them if you are concerned about them. If you install them and crash your car and bend them or break them due to crashing your car they will not be warrantied.
They are returnable only under warranty conditions.

oh and people do not be fooled by another group buy persons claim that the finish of all the different manufacturers suspension pieces makes a difference in durability. Regardless of the finish chrome , nickel, cadium etc all will resist the elements. Its really a matter of taste.
Plus a lot of these suspension pieces are coming from the same manufacturer. In fact some of the Japanese companies go to the exact same manufacturer. I have been working with the distributor who deals with the manufacterer and is the sole importer for the U.S. for over two years.

actually I am , regarding the persons claim that my statement about the difference in finishes being fictitous.
Fact is we have also installed many of these rucas with the nickel finish and I have not seen one chip yet. Oh and chrome does chip.
Obivously he did not own many chrome plated bike parts as a kid or he would know this.
I have the option to get chrome ones if I want them . They do cost more, do you want to pay extra for them? same ruca just chrome finished.
Fact is if yours did chip you could repaint them any color you want.
People we are talking suspension components here the factory finish on stock rucas is not even to the quality standards of the nickel plating. Its paint on metal , it scratchs it chips it rusts.
Yet you see it last in very cold winter climates in Japan , Canada , eastern united states etc.....
Fact is he needs to feel a reason to make his look better so he can charge more plain and simple. I state facts here and he hypes
"don't believe the hype"

I was going to ask the same thing. I know the prices are pretty good as is, but any better deals when getting a complete set-up (s13 also). Also, do you powder coat? I am going with a blue theme on this car. As for shipping, my zip is 98367 and you can email me at [email protected]

for the post above, i think the link you haven't bolt is the rear forward link, not the toe link. the toe link should be the longest one on the back close to the exhaust. I heard that is not recommanded to adjust the forward link by yourself since that will effect the rear handling (that's what i read over phase2motortrend.com).
anyways, i'm wondering how's the fitment of the toe links for the S14 chassis. I ask b/c the battleversion toe links have a small gab between the chassis and the bearing joint, that can be fix with couple washers. the c-tune looks indentical (beside the zenki fitting on the c-tune toe link) to them and also fit both S13 and S14 chassis. please let me know. thz

btw, do i have to lube the ball joints before install? thz

Just got mine yesterday....Thanks Dave, they look great. Is there a thread somewhere that someone can link me too that describes all the benfits of the additional linkages in the rear? Also is everyone just bolting these up without using an alignment machine? How do you knao what kind of camber you have in the rear and what your caster now is up front?

By the way I am only referencing the parts I got...RUCAS and T/C Rods
