Making OEM RUCA's Adjustable
For those that are still waiting for a cheap and reliable solution to get the rear camber you want/need i have teamed up with Contagious Customs out of Crystal Lake, IL to modify my stock rear upper control arms. My car will be used as a prototype if anyone else wants the same service done instead of buying the really nice full custom arms from 2tCornot2tC. We will be using ~15000lb M12 Hiem joints with custom spacers with a custom machined mount. the shop has a full powder coating booth for those that want the arms finished. If anyone else is interested please let me know i will modify this with the full parts list for those that want to DIY it, or are just curious on what is involved. I'm out on the road the next week and a half for work but i will update this after i get my arm's back for a test fit. The shop is more than interested in filling this niche. Price is TBD but is looking like less than $500 including my OEM arms. Stay tuned for more updates in a couple weeks.

Hey i have a couple of questions regarding your arms,
The price is with all parts and labour ?
Is there a core charge for the arms or do we have to send ours in to be cut up for the new parts.
If we must send in our arms what is the turn around time?
Is yours factory inner bushing and new adjustable outer or new both ends?

as for the core charge thing we will see based on demand, i will have a spare set from my original arms.
Turnaround time shouldn't be much more than a week(i hope)
As for the bushings OEM inner and aftermarket outer for simplicity. the inner is more than stiff enough for good handling.
As i said above I'm out the rest of this week and next week for a work project. I'll try to answer as many questions as i can but the real fun begins when i get back with Pic's and fittings

Yes Actually its about time too.... So long story short what ended up happening between all my work projects was the shop managed to chop the end off of the control arm notch it, then weld in a m12 10.9 Stud. The Hiem Joints are extra strength(most likely overkill) from Mcmaster Carr in chicago link at bottom. the total cost is roughly $175 powered plus arms and i have a core that i will donate to the cause. So what do you guys think?

This is just what we needed! someone kind enough to make it work and help others with the specifics! Now, the question is, what specific tie rod you got, as in measurements so I can try it myself. Thanks in advance and great work!

Basically its just the female m12 high strength rod end from the link above the m12 10.9 stud is welded so when screwed in fully it is the stock length. There is roughly 1" of usable travel for some crazy camber adjustment.
