^^ Those look cool but IT would be a pain to slide the stack in to get teh camber you want plus the ball joint angle is not taken into account. I have been brainstorming and just need to works towards some testing on the ideas in my head. Keys for the audience seem to be:
Make it simple,
Make it for slammed rides and moderate rides
Make it affordable.- This is the key, every machined piece adds a lot of expense

Price isnt a huge concern to me. Although it does play a factor. I think if prices are reasonable they will still sell. Problem right now is the exchange rate. Since all the current offerings are made in Japan and the exchange rate is so bad it makes the parts unreasonable expensive.

Make the prices reasonable/affordable. If you can make the arm's for the rear and fronts for the LS i'm pretty sure you'll get a good amount of people to support you!! Like Hilo said the Exchange rates in Japan are killing us!! Hope to see a product soon my project is waiting for these arms

After speaking with a few people I have found a fabricator in California that is willing to make RUCAs for the ucf3x platform. The picture below shows the arms made recently for the F50 chassis. Pricing would be well under $1000. In order to get a set price we would need 5 confirmed buyers then construction can start.



Anyone that is interested, please make a list here.

Do you think the toe arms are necessary? Not sure how just adjustable camber arms will play in the alignment or if toe arms would help out that much more to justify the cost.
