MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

Yes. It's so much better to drive not just off road but on road too. They help when climbing, they lessen the rear steer effect quite a bit, increase stability and also allow for more flex.

The front does move well. Thats how good superiors springs are.

But in reality it has been a few pages since I mentioned long arms, so Iam just doing my bit for your build thread. Lol

I just spent like 45 mins on the superior site reading up on them. They seem pretty awesome. Very good idea indeed.

Yes the rear bushed joint is a winner for sure. That is straight from an 80 series front end design! On of the few things Toyota got right!!! Shhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone I said that! ;)

The Hybrid looks to be a combo between their Drop arms and the rear joint /drop box design. Looks good Bene! Will be giving them a good look at in October for sure mate

Ow ok.. Interesting.. I would have thought the Patrol pin setup would flex more than the opposing pin and Bush.
The patrols arms rotate easier, sure droop is not as good. The toyo setup would droop nice, but would struggle crossing up..
To me flex is the ability to cross axles, not straight drop..

They are 100mm longer than a standard drop arm and the rear bush change is to promote better bush life, as when your flex the pin type a lot the bushes flog really quick. The length helps with stability again and also flex while the 80's bush will give good bush life ;).

Also good flex isn't just about one side tucking hard and other dropped to its limits but good flex will allow the vehicle to stay level while the suspension goes through its travel. You want the suspension to do the work anytime your chassis angles over you have reached maximum flex and you have no suspension left.
