Default Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms Feeler

Okay boys i have some good news here. I spoke to someone i know thats makes a lot of custom parts and what not. I know his stuff is quality, and the parts are sound. I asked him about the possibility of making adjustable RUCA for the TC2. He said he believes he could do it. He would just like to see how many people would be interested in buying a set before he goes through all the R&D to make them and all that stuff. So here its goes. Can we get a list together of people that would be interested in buying a set??

Ill start the list. Just add your name as we go
1. Nightstalker
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

I asked him about pricing he said the more people that would buy them the better price he could give for a group buy.

At this point I'm tired of waiting for ruca's. I'm probably going to just get Xtec since they do work and are readily available. Big deal if they are overpriced modified Civic Ruca's. It's not that much more than what's supposedly coming out by Hardrace or Nightstalkers people.

The way I see it, you probably aren't going to adjust your rear camber consistently after you've initially set it the first time for your daily driver. Just my thoughts.

This is the same way I'm thinking ^ . My friend has them and they work. That's all I want them to do, work. He set his camber exactly how he wanted it when he installed it, and hasn't messed with is since. And honestly, it takes like 2 seconds do adjust. You remove one bolt and then spin it. Big deal

I agree 100%. Is there anymore info on this guy and the prototype.

It would be wise to show us a drawing before he goes any farther. Because if we don't like the design we wont be buying the product.

There are a lot of off road fabricators here in SoCal so I called a few up the other day to ask if they would be willing to modify my stock RUCAs and how much. Most of them will do it for $100 or so plus parts. They build desert trucks that go 70 over whoops so I figure they will be structurally sound. Doing it week after next when I get my wheels powder coated. 2tC, what heim links did you use in your build if you don't mind me asking?
