jimny front high clearence radius arms? was created by ne-crock

translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&s...w%3D1280%26bih%3D939

came across these and curious to know why this design hasnt been taken up in the uk? gets rid of the problem of low radius arms and seem a good idea?

or this got me thinking has any one ever flipped the radius arm mount so the curve is over the top rathen than the bottom?

They look good but four arms will be over £2400 with shipping and VAT.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

To be honest as a Mechanical Engineer those arms make me cringe. The clearance you gain from them never makes up for the stresses in some of those corner bends. A conventional bow design is by far the strongest option.

the biggest problem with radius arms and ground clearance is where the go under the axle as they dig in there
These wouldn't cure that
an over the axle solution would be much better
