That is a great pic! very artistic we the other defender in the background , and the insane flex shot! Looks like the Amada's have some good travel.

I am really pleased with how it has turned out,I think that The arms give great flex to the front and a combination of the way the rest of the suspension is set up,gives a very balanced feel to the suspension,and I think that it shows in the pics,with the suspension doing what it should do,and flex,whilst allowing the body to remain relatively flat.I will be keen to test it again over different terrain.
The Amadas are a good length for my particular setup,could easily fit longer to the rear,but I see no sense,as it works so well as it is.Other people may require different lengths,dependent on their independent setup.

How do they compare to the cor4 arms $ weight and strength ?

Superior arms - ~$1350 including free delivery. BUT superior arms will increase Flex, as they are available in superflex configuration and also, even the standard arms have increase bush diameters and midified pin sizings.
Cor4 arms are ~1000pounds = $1840 aud (as at todays rate), weight wise the superior will be much heavier due to the 32mm gr350 plate and accordingly the strength will be massively greater. Any radius arm with a hole in the main section is subject to early failure from high impact and not recommended for serious offroad duty. The lightweight alloy arms would be ride great onroad or over light terrain where the suspension is cycling at medium frequency and there is minimal impacts. In australia we seem to drive stuff way harder than the rest of the world, and this is generally why you see products made and designed here that are insanely strong when compared to imported stuff. Years of competition use and production of thousands of radius arms have shown us that 32mm steel is the only way to go, to produce a product that will never fail!

Unfortunately this wouldn't be a fair comparison,they are made for a different market and do different jobs.The Cor4 arms are made by one of the former owners of Equipe and would be more comparable to arms by QT or Terrafirma although at a greater cost and possibly better built.

Greg, regarding the "modified pin" end, does this utilise a stock bush that can be bought off the shelf, or a special on from Superior? what about the axle end bushes?

If you get a chance, please check my PM

Serge,the bushes are all genuine Nissan
