Sorry for such a long delay on the suspension! I have been really busy with a new job, new apartment, and engagement with my fiancé.... Whew lol

Anyways I have been working with standard suspension to iron out some kinks with the R1 kit, so that I feel confident recommending them to my fellow scionlifers!

They are willing to do group buy pricing for $1272 with free shipping for anybody on scionlife who inquires on the R1 kit. I will make a thread with more info very soon, sorry to keep you guys waiting!

They were missing a nut plate on the front strut for the brake lines, and I've tested out several different spring rates for the rear

I work for O'Reilly Auto Parts; We deal with Specialty Products Company or SPC on a daily basis, and every time I talk to them on the phone I mention a RUCA for the tC2. They tell me every time they need to hear from other owners in order to determine the demand.

Here is my homework for you fellas!

CALL SPC! It only takes a couple of minutes, and if we have enough callers, obviously they will make RUCA's, duh. Lol

Anyways call em', here's the number...

1-800-525-6505

Mention the need for a rear upper control arm, and how horrible the camber is when you lower the car (even a slight drop!), feel free to exaggerate lol

Thanks guys, any help is appreciated!

Just called them and talked about RUCAs for about 10 mins about why no one makes them.

okay since you're bored...

whats a pillow mount

greenbean24

iTrader: (1)

The pillow mount or "top plate" or "camber plate" is the mount/bearing that attaches the strut assembly to the body of the car. The stock ones on the tc2 are just fine, but any aftermarket ones have the ability to adjust camber by moving the location of the strut bearing.

This is stock design (not actual picture of scion one)



And this is aftermarket. (not actual scion design) Similar to the STD ones



Btw I just googled pics, not actual scion compatible parts

good to know!

what r u supposed to do for the rears?

greenbean24

iTrader: (1)

Well the rear mount doesn't have any sort of bearing or special mount. The top is just a rubber bushing sandwich, very simple. As for camber adjustment, the now infamous "RUCA" is needed; or rear upper control arm for short. The length of the upper control arm in the rear, shaped like an "S", determines the camber of the wheel/hub.

No rest until RUCA resolved!!! you still on spc? Ive been bugging them, eibach, hotchkiss for over a month now. About to order an extra factory RCA and a first gen eibach RUCA for inspiration and take them to a machine shop.
