Wow!


It is great to see so much interest in the Superflex arms for the rover.


Hopefully our combine interest here, and potential buyers internationally will provide you guys (& superior) the fuel to rapidly complete this project and release this product onto the market. Soon. (I would like to pick some up when I go to Tuff Truck please (freight to Darwin sucks!!!) and I want to get the feel for them when I go to Lorella Springs in June prior to going to The Cape in July)


With that in mind Greg, please sneekily let me know when these are about to go into production. I have the $$ awaiting your product, and some raised shock turrets and 5" over terrafirma shocks too


I would be disappointed if I missed out on the initial batch.


Out of interest;
Are you making a radius arm pair, or just the single drivers side arm?


From what I understand of the Rover suspension geometry after a common 2" lift no castor correction is required. As such I am sure I would be happy with just the passenger side arm.

Are you looking at making the arms capable of using the factory swaybar? I have front and rear swaybars fitted and would prefer to keep it for my highway driving, and towing the camper trailer.

Looking forward to any response,
Adam.

I do mean passenger side arm....

And edit doesn't work on the above post.

Albeit on a D2 but I have a 2" lift and while I do prefer the sharper steering response, it was a bit too much uncorrected. I have 3deg corrected (QT) arms and while it's not back to std (still 1.5deg out) it's now at the exact point that it's responsive on the road but not a nightmare for tracking lines in the surface.

I am curious though why you'd only go for replacing one arm?

Its more about reducing the rolling resistance , something that is limited by the bushes at the axle when using radius arms.

I just got off the phone to Superior and they have taken delivery of their first prototype arm/s.

Exciting to know that they have made some progress

Cheers, Adam.

18th feb: Facebook update; super flex arms are 3-4 weeks away :-)

I asked to pick mine up at Tuff Truck.... hmmm I better pay for them as well :-)

Cheers, Adam.

Adam, have you seen any pics of them yet? Did they retain the pin chassis joint also?

Slunnie I don't know, but they have a new chassis end for the Patrol pin, so it would not surprise me if they have also modified the Rover ones, or did at least intend to in the future.

From Facebook regarding the Patrol ones:
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.

And from the 13th Feb:
SUPER FLEX ARMS AND SUPERIOR RADIUS ARMS ( STREET LEGAL )
These can now be approved for street use , please contact Superior Engineering for the relevent paperwork needed and the contact details of a Brisbane Based engineer who will finalise the approval, I am working on other Engineers in other states to finalise approvals.
Swaybars need to be fitted to comply so if your arms are not drilled to suit swaybars they can be modified by Superior Engineering to accept your swaybars again.
Please call us at 0754331411 for the documents needed for approval.

Cheers, Adam.
