Default Pfadt Featherlight Coil Over Install

I was very lucky to be one of the first to receive and install a set of the new Pfadt Featherlight Coil Overs.

Great stuff as always with Pfadt products.

Is the rear tie rod hitting the spring? Let's know how they handle. What spring rate?

Looking good.

No interference issues between any parts.

First track day on 3/11 ... Ready to test.

..

Added Pfadt HD antisways at the same time so it might be hard to tell what part improves the most.

What adjustments do they have? And what do they sell for? JD

Dual adjust - Damping and rebound

Check with Pfadt on the cost detail but about $4900 plus shipping and handling.

You're adding to your unsprung weight with the reservoirs strapped to your lower control arms. I would recommend moving them some where inside and away from the inside of the wheel well.

Dan, looks great. Are those adjustable from inside the car?
