Default Anybody know the quality of these suspension components

eBay Motors: S14 SILVIA NISSAN DRIFT Suspension Kit 240SX / SR20DET (item 270151551490 end time Aug-08-07 11:30:19 PDT)

The Camber arms look real beefy and the rest seem like they could be good? I'm not sure the quality of the thread ends and fittings though? still a sweet price. I was wondering if any one on here has used these or can vouch for the quality??

You can put S14 arms on an S13.

I would not reccomend the toe rods. They will hit the subframe if you lower your car too much.

for toe arms get battleversion or get SPL parts (theirs are pre bent to avoid contact)

Im confused. What are the curved ones on the bottom left side?
I see traction arms top left, toe arms top right, tension T/C arms middle right, and Rear upper control arms bottom right.
In the auction listing it says you get traction, tension, ruca, and toe....


The shape resembles Battle Version RUCA




anyway, back on topic, I would expect the rod ends to wear out quickly, but they are replaceable with higher quality ones.

The RUCA's on the lower right are s13 RUCA and I think the ones on the lower left are S14 RUCA's....


Mattback....how low before they hit, because it is actually the toe and traction rods that peaked my interest about these in the first place?

dude you dont need traction rods

they are a pain in the ass more than anything when it comes time to install.

just get some cheap bushings, replace the bushings in the stock traction rods, and box weld them shut. works perfect and is very cheap.


how low before they hit? when youve lowered your car to the point of ' wow, that looks really good' they usually hit.

^ thanks. The reason I am looking to do the toe rods is because my toe is way off and the RUCA's alone don't put the suspension back to neutral. XAT did a pretty good job of countering the rear toe but I know that if my toe arms had some adjustability I would be better for setting up for autocross.
