Superior Engineering Superflex arms for Rovers.

Guys, sorry if it came across all down in that post. I am just getting 'leveraged' about the rover stuff and the R&D time i am putting in. I love doing stuff for them as I have a special spot for them, my first comp buggy was half rover. I keep looking at the pics of the arms on waynes defender and saying WOW! to myself which keep me excited about coming up with new ideas. I am hoping to get back to finalising paperwork and designs on the rear long arms so that they along with the Superflex arms can get approvals easily. I know its still early days, but i am keen to see how they go over time.

Hey Greg
I will get some more pics and some video eventually,but work is suffocating me at the moment.Hopefully in a week or two.But I can tell you that I did get out,but no pics as I was leading,and it make a big difference to what was a fairly capable vehicle previously.And as I have said previously,it has added a lot more stability to the vehicle.
So to anyone thinking about it,just do it.You won't be disappointed.But be prepared to also fork out for longer shocks;)
And don't be put off by having to add spacers for the bushes,if that is the only things we have to worry about,then the vehicle must be mint:wasntme:

Greg don't stress. I will need a set this month. we have just finished making custom tray on the truck. have started on exo cage and will do this over the weekend.
we also have to film building the front bar and winch install this weekend. Wire the whole truck next weekend and Either paint or Wrap the truck and film that as well. then rego it. take it for a run and make sure everything works. Then the week after we have to try to organize fitting ashcroft axles/cv's and when the other sponsor kicks in we should have the cash for front arms.

We have been thinking of having a go at making our own arms for the back but we may run out of time before the first trip we take it on and film.

I'll hopefully have some proper testing done this weekend. Got a camera man on board now too :D

Looking forward to all the guard rub loving from the comp spec treps :cool:

jealous!

Here's a pic of the SF arms in action at LCMP over the weekend. As mentioned above, I have some work to do on spring rates, shock lengths, top mount position, and bump stops, but pretty happy with it so far! :)

I'm impressed with the increased flex. Like Kreecha would like clarification on the certification issues.

My project is a RRC 82, so if I read correctly there is some issue with bush housings, which I guess can be sorted. Currently though, my money is going on an Isuzu gearbox to LT230 transfer case adaptor kit. But once that is over and some more money gets saved then the Superflex will get my attention.

Thanks for the work Greg, and don't 'can it'.

Cheers..

Greg,

I have been waiting for the 'full certified kit'. F/R arms,springs, shocks. Don't can the project, just hurry up!!!!! I have spent money on other things because of the wait.

I will send you a deposit for the lot if it makes a difference to delivery and certification time?

Rick.

PM sent.

WOI, the solution for you would be to swap a post update disco diff housing in.

While you're at it do the rear as well and then you will have ditched the 10-spline in favour of later 24-spline diffs.

Cheers, Adam.

On a related subject, and thank you for your pics presto, can defenders or discoverys use the same height front shock towers?

I ask due to the different front guard/bonnet design.

Cheers, Adam.
