Frustrated with Pin Top shocks?
At Pfadt Racing we've been focused on engineering custom solutions for Corvette products for years. One situation that frustrates racers the most about their premium pin top double adjustable coil overs is the absence of a proper, robust mounting solution. With the release of our latest coilover products, the FeatherLight Generation series, we are proud to offer a mounting solution that's Corvette specific to optimize both articulation and fit.
We engineered the Pfadt B.O.A. (Ball On Axis) mount specifically for the C5 and C6 Corvette to allow for maximum articulation with a minimum of frictional loss. Adapting proven automotive engineering techniques similar to a ball joint, our mount offers race car precision while maintaining street car ride and durability standards. The key to both strength and longevity comes from the use of a sealed, low friction Teflon lined bearing at the top of the mount. The internals of the bearing feature a hardened 440C stainless steel ball, which is widely known for hardness and corrosion resistance.
Available exclusively on our FeatherLight Generation series coilovers, the new B.O.A. mount has proven to be a great addition. On our custom built damper testing rig we've more than doubled the durability over standard coilovers with no visible signs of wear. Below is a demo video we put together illustrating the advantages and functionality of the B.O.A. At Pfadt, we specialize in engineering Corvette specific solutions and our B.O.A. mount and FeatherLight Generation coil overs are no exception.
B.O.A. Mount at a glance:
- Designed specifically for the Corvette to eliminate the need to adapt off the shelf parts to your Corvette
- Uses a sealed Teflon bearing for strength and longevity
- Uses high grade 440C Stainless for corrosion resistance
- Eliminates unnecessary bending moments on the shaft which can cause premature failure and performance losses
- Tested to provide more than double the durability over standard coil overs
- Made in the USA/Europe
