Superior Hybrid Radius Arms with Drop Boxes

Introducing the Generation 2.0 Superior Engineering Hybrid Radius Arms with Drop Boxes.

DESIGN OBJECTIVES

These Hybrid Radius Arms and drop boxes are designed to suit GQ and GU Nissan Patrol four wheel drive vehicles.

The problem with the standard Nissan radius arm design is that the rear pin style mounting puts a lot of load on the mushroom bushes when the arms flex down.

This causes the bush to be torn and fail, leading to bad or unsafe handling and steering, premature wear of the arm and sometimes contact of the arm with the chassis.

To eliminate this problem in the standard Nissan radius arms, superior engineering utilize a Toyota style rear bush.

This design change allows increased life from the rear bush, by allowing the arm to rotate down without the binding found in the pin style design, whilst allowing increased flex and articulation in the arms when off road.

Superior Engineering hybrid radius arm are also available with the patented Superflex bush configuration which have the most available flex of any radius arm available for direct fitment to Nissan and Toyota 4wds.

Superior Engineering are so confident that fitting Superflex arms will allow you to get more flex than your original or aftermarket Radius Arms, that they are offering a 100% money back Guarantee!

Hybrid drop box design is by far the most efficient and compact available with the lowest point being less than 30mm below the crossmember giving them up to 40mm better ground clearance than some competitors.

These drop boxes are a straight bolt in design and feature tapered leading and trailing edges to aid in sliding up and over even the toughest of obstacles.

The rear of the mount even pockets snugly against the gearbox crossmember for support and smooth styling, as well as maximum clearance.

One of the greatest design features is also the increase in arm length which is achieved by having the rear bush mounting point further back in the drop box.

This allows for a reduction in anti-squat on lifted vehicles which allows the suspension to soak up the biggest bumps with ease!

All these features combine to give you the best ride and the most articulation of any Hybrid style drop box kit available.

BENEFITS

Another feature that sets these new Hybrid radius arms apart from all other brands is that all generation 2 arms will be constructed from HIGH TENSILE grade 32mm thick, high strength steel plate – AS STANDARD, making them the strongest off the shelf radius arms available.

This material is used extensively in the mining industry and is known worldwide for its amazing impact strength.

Adding to the benefits of premium material, the shape of the new Generation 2 arms has been increased at the chassis bush end to provide up to 30% increase in strength in areas that can contact rocks or obstacles, ensuring that you will get the strongest arms available.

The arms come ‘ready to fit’ with direct bolt-in drop boxes, full OE style rubber bushes pressed in and also all the required bolts and fitting instructions.

Superior Engineering arms are fitted with genuine OE bushes or our own brand bush that is proven to last longer than OE.

We even guarantee these bush’s to last by offering the ONLY manufacturer warranty on bush’s used for lifted application.

All of these great features combine to give you a radius arm package with amazing flex, great drivability and the longest life from your bushes, guaranteed!

Superior 2 Inch Wheel Spacers

Superior 2 Inch Wheel spacers are used to move the tyre away from the chassis to help in articulation and to give a more stable ride due to the wider wheel track.

Being able to increase your wheel track will increase your stability while offroad creating less chance of vehicle rollovers.

For vehicles that run larger tyres or have excessive wheel travel, Superior wheel spacers will offer much needed clearance between the chassis and inner tyre.

All of our spacers are made from T6 6000 Aircraft grade billet alloy (Aluminium) and are precision CNC machined, then zinc coated to prevent corrosion.

Our wheel spacers are clearly marked and identified with the “Superior Engineering” logo machine engraved into the side of the spacer so you know you’re getting a “Genuine and Authentic” Superior spacer.

World First: Superior Engineering wheel spacers are the only spacers that come with custom drop shank wheel nuts to further engauge more thread than any other suppliers equivelant spacers.

Wheel Spacer Uses

  • Perfect for matching indifferent track widths… be it from the factory or from an axel swap.
  • Also can be used if chasing extra track width for competition or similar for side slope stability.
  • Can also help with fitment of different offset wheels to different vehicles.

Superior Engineering Coil Springs

Superior Engineering Coil Springs… designed from the start purely for the best ride and performance available.

The design process started with on-vehicle measurements of the longest aftermarket shock for a given length, this data is then combined with the shock closed length and the suspensions actual physical limits.

Data is then combined with the highest grade of spring material offered in Australia, gives us the ability to produce the longest possible spring whilst still adhering to the required vehicle dimensions for a given lift height.

What this means is you have a longer, slightly softer more linear spring that is captive in the spring seat even when using the longest recommended shock. By having a spring that is not only captive but linear rate at full extension you have good ground pressure even when at near full flex, which dramatically adds to vehicle stability when offroad.

The other major benefit of the longer, slightly softer rate is the far superior ride quality. A short hard spring transmits forces from bumps back into the vehicle much more and doesn’t allow the shock to actually do its jobs of controlling motion of the suspension. The Superior Springs are designed around the same technology of the coilover race springs which when combined with a good shocks will provide unparalleled performance levels.

For vehicles which may carry loads at particular times we do recommended fitting Air-Bag assist.

This way both the ride and load carrying characteristics can be easily adjusted to suit any condition or load requirement.

State Of The Art Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is the most important step in the coil spring manufacturing process. Hardening and tempering is completed by an extremely precise, electronically controlled furnace to eliminate breakage and sagging.

Formed On Precision Mandrels

During forming, each coil is precisely placed, wound and monitored by a programmable hi-tech computer to achieve perfect pitch. This is especially important in manufacturing our heavy duty springs to the exact spring rates.

Powder Coat Finish

A durable black powdercoat finish is baked on, to provide extreme protection against the elements and to help eliminate corrosion. The smooth powdercoat surface also reduces friction when used with internal airbags.

High Intensity Shot Peening

All Superior coils are shot peened to give longer life, reducing micro cracks and increasing the springs toughness.

Fully Scragged & Load Tested

All Superior coils are scragged 100% to eliminate subsequent spring sag. The coils are also load tested to ensure they meet and maintain the required specifications. Superior also performs spring fatigue testing and spring hardness testing using state of the art testing equipment.
