correct camber on my s13? - Page 2 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

haha i swap my tires out like every few hundred miles anyway. but seriously the car isnt worth expensive parts. a pair of RUCAs would run me more than i bought the whole car for. i do need to spend money on a clutch soon though. i think i will just run the car as it sits (suspension wise) not sure yet if i want to use the DRs or just sell them. theyre still brand new. the clutch takes my attention over the rear camber right now, since the clutch slips half way through 3rd and if i try to gun 4th or 5th its just clutch slipping out the butt . all i really ask of this car is 13s before winter hits and then whatever. id really like to hit a clubloose event or something similar as well, but we'll see

There's a thread on NICO about Megan racing parts actually being strong. Somebody drifted into a curb and his Megan RUCA's and Toe Arms didn't bend but his subframe did. I'm still a bit iffy on Megan parts but if it could withstand a hit to the curb, I think they did a little something right.

someone on nico and zilvia also got a set of megan ruca's that werent welded at the one end at ALL!!!!

buy nice shizzy and it'll last... i got silk roads like 5 years ago and they're good... SPLparts are awesome, and pbm and jic rear toe rods kick butt as well.

if u are gonna go cheap just get urethane and adjust camber out as much as u can with the stock ones - or just get better wheels so u need the camber

We're running Megan Street Coilovers and ProjectNissan.com RUCAs on our S13 autoX car. Everything has worked well so far (we abuse the **** out of the car at least once per weekend) and the Megan coilovers have proven to be an excellent choice for affordable adjustability. They seem to be just as well built as the TEIN Flex we have on our WRX, and those have blown/seized twice in just as long.
