    Both make quality Products although Superior has gone a little Production Run quality. Snake you will pay a premium for but both are very good. I dont think Superior use factory bushes regardless of what they write on the web site, their bushes are sh1t.

    Really will come down to the specific product you are chasing mate.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    A little off track, possibly relevant? In regards ‘all’ industries rubber compounds I believe comes down to exclusivity contracts. Mobs like ‘Rosta’ in our specific game locked down Euro forests years ago and still cannot be beaten on synthetic substitutes I believe.

    I have alot of Superior gear. Granted, when I bought most of mine their products were almost made to order as the business was very small. I had a bad customer service issue snake and have never been back since.
    I regularly read about flogged out bushes with superior gear. Most of comment based on little understanding of why. Just purely blaming the bush quality and disregarding anything else.
    I've flogged out a good few bushes (OEM, aftermarket it doesnt matter) in my ute over the years mainly the drivers side diff end radius arm bushes. Why, because I have/had alot of travel. I'm pushing the factory configuration well past what the Nissan engineers designed it to do. The front end on a Patrol doesn't flex because of the amount of separation between the bushes at the diff end. The bushes will be forced to their workable limit quicker than a toyota or land/Range rover, which have less separation and more flex like for like. People keep pushing the extremities of the factory configuration and get upset when stuff fails

    I am looking at a 3 or 4 inch lift and and I am just trying to balance quality compared to budget, roadsafe products seem to be good but I have only heard of poeple useing them in panhards,draglinks stuff like that, but the have stock for nearly everything else, them some say tuff dog lift components are good some say they are rubbish so I was just looking at snake racing and superior to see which is the best cor me or should I mix my components and not stick to the one brand

    If money is limiting your decisions, just buy the best you can afford now and then, as money permits, upgrade the lesser quality parts.
    I remember when I did my 4inch lift, I made up a spreadsheet with my total $$$ I was to spend and just made up various kits and then decided on what was going to be the best for me.
