Im currently saving and researching which radius arms to buy for my 4" lifted 1990 gq...
after looking around ive decided either superiors 4" super flex radius arms or snakes 4" dropped radius arms...

need some advice on which is strongest, works best, handles the best, least maintenace etc?

they are 2 totally different things! one will just fix castor the other will fix castor and also increase flex. Research is a good thing, there are plenty of guys on here with those setups who will give you honest feedback, which is worth its weight in gold.IMO

Save your money and fit some drop boxes.

there are cheaper dropped radius arms available ( 2D extreme and Big O ) and from all reports they are good products, no first hand experience though.

I have the Big O drop arms with a 4" lift and am happy with them.
From memory i think they were about 800 odd.

Mine are made from 350MPa steel plate, just had to put my price up a bit to $660 pair + bushes.

a number of guys running them in their comp cars and one even in his Tuff truck vehicle without any dramas.

cheers
