Front End
The front suspension is designed to support the additional weight commonly added to a touring or work related accessories, such as bull bars, winches, batteries and other modifications. Heavy-duty front coil springs are matched with premium shock absorbers to improve ride quality, suspension control and wheel travel while maintaining correct ride height under load.
To maximise strength and reliability, the front suspension package also incorporates upgraded radius arms, steering correction components and extended brake lines, creating a complete system rather than just installing taller springs.
Radius Arm Options
Superior Engineering Radius Arms are designed to restore caster angle after lifting your LandCruiser while significantly increasing strength over the factory arms. Built to withstand harsh off-road conditions, they improve steering feel, directional stability and front suspension articulation.
You can also choose from a range of Superior Engineering Radius Arm options to suit your intended use, from Superior Steel Radius Arms through to Billet Radius Arms.
STEERING
Lifting a LandCruiser changes steering geometry, which can lead to bump steer, vague handling and increased component wear if left uncorrected. This kit includes a complete steering correction package featuring an upgraded drag link, tie rod, panhard rod and steering damper.
Working together, these components restore steering geometry, improve driver confidence and deliver more predictable handling both on the highway and when tackling challenging off-road terrain.
Shocks
A suspension package is only as good as its shock absorbers. Superior Engineering offers a range of premium shock options to suit different driving styles, from comfortable daily touring through to heavily loaded remote-area expeditions and serious off-road use.
Every shock option has been specifically valved to complement the supplied spring rates, providing excellent ride comfort, improved wheel control and consistent damping performance across a wide range of terrain.
Track Corrected Diamond Differential Housing & Axle Set
For customers wanting the ultimate drivetrain upgrade, this GVM package can also be paired with Superior Engineering's Track Corrected Chromoly Diamond Diff Housing. Designed to bring the rear wheel track out parallel with the front diff, this housing is the ultimate in functionality & strength - covered by a Lifetime Warranty against bending or cracking. OEM Diff Centre (Locked or Un-Locked) & OEM Brake Assembly compatible, load rated to 3,150kg and manufactured from 830MPA Chromoly Steel, this Diff Housing is the Strongest and best supported option on the market.
Diamond Diffs also come standard with 300m Axles manufactured by RCV in the United States, which are covered by a lifetime warranty against breaking. These axles are coupled with our 4340M Billet Drive Plates and topped off with Anodized Blue alloy axle caps etched with the Superior Engineering Logo.
Brakes
Increasing your vehicle's carrying capacity also places greater demands on the braking system. This kit includes extended front and rear brake lines, upgraded caliper lines, a brake booster upgrade and the Superior Engineering Handbrake Upgrade Kit.
Together, these components maintain safe braking performance throughout the increased suspension travel while improving brake pedal feel and ensuring the handbrake remains effective, even after the suspension lift. The result is a braking system engineered to match the increased capability of your upgraded LandCruiser.

PPD Performance exhausts comprise of mandrel bent, stainless pipe work, delivering uncompromising flow, performance, and sound. Mandrel bending involves placing a mandrel inside the piping, before it is bent to shape. In comparison; cheaper press bending from other manufacturers squashes the tube as it is bent, reducing flow.
Tired of your mild steel exhaust systems rusting out after a year or less? Time to shop for a stainless steel system? There’s still some things you need to be aware of. Our competitors typically advertise their exhaust products as stainless steel. Most don't stipulate the differences between ferretic 409 grade stainless steel and austenitic 304 stainless steel.
Significant differences exist between the metals that make one better for performance exhaust applications than the other. Let us explain
The corrosion resistance of your 4x4 exhaust depends on the content of chromium and nickel found in the alloy. 409 grade stainless steel is used by many manufactures due to its medium strength, formability and very low cost. Typically, 409 grade stainless steel has a chromium content of between 10.50% - 11.75% and a nickel content of less 0.50%.
Why do we use 304 grade stainless steel piping for 4x4 performance exhausts? Because it is more resistant to rusting than ferretic based stainless steels such as 409. However, because of its low ferrous content, 304 can develop a golden colour when exposed to high heat over time. In fact, the ferrous metal content is so low that magnets won’t stick to it, making the identification of 409 and 304 grade stainless steel very easy.
Put simply, 304 grade stainless is the best value material used in the 4x4 exhaust game when strength, corrosion resistance and performance are at the top of your list of priorities.
Type 304 steel is engineered with chromium and nickel content and proves to be resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and durability.
Together with a polished finish - it is a great choice for your 4x4 offering excellent corrosion resistance from exhaust emissions, moisture and beach exposure.
All PPD Performance exhausts are designed to follow the same orientation and layout as the factory exhaust, making for easy bolt on installations. Our systems utilise the standard hanger locations, which means you don't have to use anything other than the factory rubbers.
