History

• Manufacturing polyurethane bushings and suspension parts since 1983

• Originally part of a Fulcrum Suspensions group with over 35 years history in automotive suspension repair and tuning

• Experience has lead to worldwide export and sales to OEM’s and Tier 1 suppliers.

History is not just something that grandparents and teachers think about, it actually equals experience and that means wisdom. Product wisdom means applying the lessons of years of experience and development to improve the product, the processes and the quality of what you make.

In 1983, Graham Scudamore-Smith and Fulcrum Suspensions, the founding company behind SuperPro started to manufacture its own bushes made from cast polyurethane. SuperPro bushes were initially used on two wheel drive cars.  Then in 1985 after an ongoing problem with wear and tear on the leaf spring bushes on 40 and 45 Series Landcruisers, the company started to design and produce SuperPro bushes for four wheel drives.

This history shows a virtual timeline of development milestones stretching back to the 70’s that delivers real world results in better products. And, a reputation of leadership in automotive polyurethane manufacture worldwide with many industry firsts.  

Starting in 1970, these industry milestones include a progression of improvements like;

Bullet Grooves Allowing for variances in control arms or spring eyes

Double-Helix Grooves Are used inside the bush and outside surface of the crush tube. Especially suitable for greaseable shackles

Self-Lubrication Extends bush durability, excludes contaminants and assists polyurethane flow into grooves

Voiding Allows polyurethane to be displaced into grooves under load, reducing NVH (Noise Vehicle Harshness)

Knurling Reduced surface area ensures unrestricted pivoting of control arms

Caster off set Bushings Provide caster correction in non-adjustable suspensions

Tangential Grease Grooves Grooves store grease therefore reducing friction between shackle bush heads and shackle plates and so reducing noise

Extreme Factor Extra offset castor correction bushings for extreme lift 4WD applications

Superior Raw Material New advanced technology in polyurethanes

Turbo Style Voiding A high performance bushing to reduce engine movement & minimise transmission of high frequency vibrations by use of a unique turbo pattern

Other key milestones include over 20 years of exports experience to the harshest environments in the world and a strong European and North American distribution presence since 1999.

Today

SuperPro also has the history and experience to know that people want choice and that unlike original equipment or stock components, SuperPro gives back choice to the individual.
