Like I said, I don't know about your coil overs. When we made this kit the only coilovers that existed was a set of Penske's. They fit with those. They also fit my custom Afco's I had made but I don't use the Pfadt's so I can't tell you. I have heard they hit, however it depends on several issues such as alignment as well. If you have too much toe in it will bring the rod closer to the shock. You can space it like someone in the post showed and I may come out with the offset one I designed but it is going to be a bit more expensive. The offset clevis will require more machine time since it can't be completely shaped in the lathe.

On another note, where did you get the bumper cover on your racecar? You could pm me with the info so I don't hijack

Go back to my 04-06-2012, 12:46 PM post on the subject. I had the offset mounts made by New Era Performance in Rochester NY
They clear my LGM coilovers.

I am looking into this now, it will make the cost of the kit go up but it will be worth the difference. Thanks everyone who participated.
Has the update been done yet? Need to purchase a set in the next few months, thanks
