Haha, hate to say it but, those are the same generic (ebay, godspeed) control arms that i retro fitted to my car. I'm testing a set from Hardrace right now. Quality is superb.

 

Glad to see that other companies are finally making some RUCA's for our car! These pics are of the RUCA's that Xtec Auto Accessories sent me. I haven't tried to retrofit any generic control arms, but I assume they would be the same concept (given that the dimensions are the same).

I am simply posting pictures and information on here for you guys to see. What you do with the information is up to you. I am moving on from the TC2 pretty soon, but since these arms are in high demand I figured I'd let everyone know their options. I heard Supertek are currently working on a set as well.

 

your testing a set of RUCA's from hard race?

 

I actually cant wait man. You have no idea how happy I am to see the color they painted these. Its going to be perfect. No matter what color they are released in I'm probably going to be just as happy. Get those approved I need some hahaha.

Have you heard price range yet????

 

This red is going to be the final release color as far as I know. I'm not sure if they're going to offer custom colors or not. I haven't heard a price range yet. I'm going to drive on mine for a week or so and then give them to ok. Once I do that they'll give me all the info!

 

it would have been nice if the adjustment was independent from twisting the arm itself

 

^
Let's stop complaining and be happy that SOMEONE is finally taking the initiative on this.

Hey man I have a couple questions:
1. How is the install? If I was able to install my own springs with the help of a few friends, will I be able to do this?
2. Would I be able to just take my car to a shop after installing these and have them just give me an alignment?

 

Before and after.

 

Who makes those?

 

Is this your listing?

Biglilsteve - I agree. It's about time that something is getting done with Adjustable RUCA's for the TC2, lets stop complaining!
To answer your question,
1) It is very simple. The rear bolt is a little annoying to get to because of it's location, but other than that it's extremely straightforward. Installing lowering springs are significantly more difficult and involved than installing Xtec's Adjustable RUCA's.
2) Yes. But the camber can easily be seen without going to an alignment shop, and it can be adjusted to where you want it during the install. I forsee most people not getting an alignment after installing these because they will set it where they want it during install.

ashtc2 - That's my listing for Xtec's halo's. It's the same as buying them from their website, +ebay fee's.

 

After 5 days of driving on the RUCA's, I took everything apart today to ensure that everything was tight and there was nothing weird happening under there. After thorough checking, everything was still tight, there are no weird marks, signs of wear, or damage, and there is still no weird noises coming from them. Woo!

I spoke with the manager of Xtec and gave him the go ahead on the Adjustable RUCA's. They should have them for sale on their website within the next 24 hours. He said the introductory price would be around $310-$315 with free shipping. Just giving you guys a heads up of what to expect!


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since this thread has been heavily focused on other things for a while, I figured I'd post something about my car haha!

Here's what I've been doing for the past 2 days:



Still got a little ways to go!

 

That's awesome very jelly of the pods if like to see the driver side though my passenger doesn't need to see my gauges lol

 

Haha I'm obviously making some for the drivers side as well I got a good deal on a butt on of gauges (6 to be exact), so I figured I'd make pods for both sides!

 

You might aswell lol I can't wait till the finish product is done I wish someone would just make them for our cars it's ridiculous to have to go custom on that especially on a scion lol

 

Yea I agree. There's really no better place to put the gauges, and I wasn't down to just mount some universal pod on my dash or my steering column lol


By the way, this is the website for the Adjustable RUCA's

You should use yours as a mold and see if you can cheaply mass produce them and sell them via xtec or eBay

 

cool cool! So...are there indications on the part that will let me know what i'm setting them to? So if I want zero camber in the back, I can just pre-set them to zero and install and I'm done?

 

If I knew how to do that then I would! Haha I don't know how to make or use molds, but I will definitely look into it now that you say that.

That's a smart idea, but sadly that isn't possible. Every car has different camber after lowering it, or even sitting at stock! Lowering your car on tein's, vs trd's, vs coils, vs crazy slammed, will all give you different camber. Even 2 people on s-tech's will have different camber.

Personally, the best way to go about it that I found was to completely install the arms with the adjustability in the middle. Then lower the vehicle and see how the tires are sitting. Then jack the car up again and take off the tire. To adjust the arm you don't have to take it off, you just take off the bolt on the outside and spin the eyelet left or right if you need more positive or negative camber.

In essence, trial and error is the best way to do it. It only takes 10 mins or so to adjust it each time. 2-3 adjustments and you'll be exactly where you want it!

(Also, Xtec has a video on how to adjust their arms)

 

Im sorry but to me, it seems you are the one behind this xtec bull**** company. You are the one in charge of their promotion, their free weebly website and you also give them the heads up to sell a product after you try it out???? But when people we're having problems with the suppossedly xtec halos you did not know anything about it???? Oh yeah, and which real company only sells one product for one car??? Make that 2 products with the RUCA's. Come on bro we are all grown ups here.
