jeez steve,
Well done you must be a real bright spark to get on a international forum and boast how stupid you really are ,because you have to copy someone else's design.
You say lets keep NZ dollars here in NZ " more like your pocket.
The reason Superior Engineering sells products all over the world , is because they do have engineer's that do design and manufacture top quality products, unlike your rubbish.
After looking at your prior posts and pictures of your products i wouldnt let you give me a part to put on my truck as i reckon it would fail.
Nice drop boxes they look like they came out of the bin. :lol:

Mate you can't even spell correctly so its no wonder you can't design anything for yourself.
Get a life and go to school and grow up.
I really hope Superior Engineering take you to court and owns your ass, just because i dont like people who suck of others.
:shock:

have you ever seen his work ??
or are you just assuming this by looking at pictures,i have seen lots of steves work looks all good to me and have not heard any diffrent from others,you say he has copied these arms have you seen his arms that he has made??.are they same??
i guess if they are made well and the price is right which looks like the price is in reach of most 4wheelers i reckon they will sell well if they are his own design! and built well
just my 2cents

I think the best way to increase flex on a radius arm front end is to bring the chassis mounts in closer together. If you're already making drop boxes then you're halfway there.

This mod doesn't cause any side-side imbalance, keeps all the brake reaction handled safely and is tunable for the amount of roll-stiffness you require.

I have Steve's lower trailing arms, no problems with them, and I was going to run his drop boxes, but only sold them as I didn't realise I could run a superior arm with drop boxes. I now run the superior boxes, and although I will stick to their gear for all the intended mods I will be doing in the future, I can't see how someone can comment on quality of soemone elses product without seeing them.

I agree, if the new arms are a new design, and they work well in testing, they will sell quite well at that pricing


But then again, without an introduction, your comments are meaningless anyway Jofsee, easy to take the piss while hiding behind a keyboard

Yeah, its all too easy to get the wrong idea in this electronic forum world, an innocent comment can be taken completely the wrong way.

I've met Steve a couple of times now, and he has been a good guy to chat to, so I hope that he gets somewhere with his arms and other Safari bits he makes.
I'm more than impressed with the superior gear, its just a shame its so expensive to get it back, but then that makes more opportunities for the likes of Steve, which is good
