We will officially release our New Superflex design late this week for Nissan Patrols .The new design incorporates a Super slim Drop box with a Toyota style rear bush incorporating the Patented Superflex design. 100% bolt in and the most clearance on the market for any toyota style rear bush.
Some key benefits are smoother compression/ rebound of suspension , Much better life of the rear bushes, More stable driving platform over Nissan pin design, slightly longer to enhance drivabilty without going to long to create unsafe handling charictaristics in swerve tests.
I am very confident we will also have these street legal as well within a few weeks. Available in 2,3,4,5,6 inch lift Both Superflex and Radius arms.

Buds custom just released something very similar.

I went for quick spin this afternoon.
The frontend is way softer and smoother, it handles very differently, still getting used to how it handles.
I am getting way more up travel and down travel has increased also.
With my original superflex arms my coils half unseated, now the unseat by and an inch.
I need new coils.

Is this the arms you've had replaced 3 times sim?

Just cause they drop out doesnt mean you need longer coils... why would you think that .. you put longer coil in you lift your truck.. just capture the coil top and bottom, make the coil work both directions not just on up travel..

I have had two sets of the first arms and only 1 set of the new arms, this is currently the only set of the superior long arms.

These coils more than 4 years old, the new coils these days offer the same lift high but are physically longer when they expand. Plus the frontend feels too soft now.

Gday Guys

I will be doing the suspension on my GU over the next month or so. Any idea on how soon these may be tested for street legality?

Paperwork has all been done and should be approved mid next week, There are quite a few sets in stock of 3/4/5 I believe.

Wot is the cost of these new arms

[SIM79]

From Facebook


Superior Engineering They will probably be only $100 more than the Current Superflex arms so that is $1420 for the Performance series and $1380 for the Offroad Series.

i find it funny that you can get the 3" plus versions in 'performance' models. isn't lift of that size illegal anyway so the nessessity of sway bars/abs holes don't seem real valid to me. maybe cause i drive old ute without abs and i've taken the swaybar out for better travel already?

This ute is running the new arms, this was at glasshouse today.

Does anyone do a longer rear trailing arm with a new bolt on pivot point so as to not change the location of the diff?
The longer arms would be good so that the tail shaft angles remain correct through out the suspension travel. Might have to look at changing over from my old arm and drop boxes to this new setup.

the pinion angle change cannot be completely fixed unless you go to longer upper arms too, which means cutting out a crossmember or running arms with a big bend in the middle.
pinion angle changes more with longer lowers. You need both uppers and lowers longer really, and if you dont mind the ground clearance loss the chassis end of the lower arms could do with a dropbox style mounting.
