Default Battle Version RUCA's?

Is anyone here running the battle version RUCA's? How much camber adjustment were you able to get out of them?

I'm changing my wheel set up to a higher offset so that I can run less negative camber and I just want to make sure that these are going to do the job. I'm not sure exactly how much - camber the car is running right now but I would estimate upwards of -3* since its pretty low and tucking a 19x10.5 +22 with a 265/30 in the rear. changing over to a 19x10 +38 with hopes of getting more of the tire actually on the ground.

You won't find me there this week Brian. Taking a little vacation time. Thanks for the links.

Whats up koopa? Yeah I actually just picked this up about a week ago after I sold my 1jz IS300. Still regretting that sale a bit but I just felt like getting something automatic to cruise. Its so slow though. I'm going to have to try really hard to fight the urge to boost it.

How are these to be adjusted, for more or less camber?

If you need more camber why don't you get the RLCA's? Those give you camber adjustment also and are easier to install. Plus I also just bought the last set of RUCA's they had in stock and as far as I know BV does not have them high on the priority list to create again anytime soon, so you may want to check into the RLCA's.

I was debating between the two for a bit. I went for the RUCAs because from reading the product description, it seems more focused towards getting the right camber setting. Not to mention I was able to get a new set at a cheaper price. Kinda new to this so not quite sure what works best yet.

RUCAs probably won't be installed anyways until I get the RLCAs. Order for toe links should be placed soon.

Thanks for the info and suggestions though.

If hes has too aggressive wheels, and he wants to negative camber to fit the wheels, RUCAs will work much better since it'll bring the top of the wheels in; where RLCA pushes the bottom part of the wheels out.

I would do rear uppers, rear lower, trac and toe links back there.

You can achieve around -6degrees of camber with stock lca. The BV RUCA will help you tuck or fit a wider/lower offset wheel. But yes you should purchase toe rods if you do not already have them. I'll shoot u a text right now
