Pfadt Race Engineering announces new Single Adjustable Coilover
Following in the footsteps of the recent launch of our premier Double Adjustable coilover the Feather Light Generation DAs, we are announcing the little brother with many of the same features: The Feather Light Generation SAs (Single Adjustable).
The Feather Light Generation SA coilovers are a completely new design for the Pfadt family of Corvette suspension. You can find more detailed information on our website: Pfadt Race Engineering FeatherLight Singles.
Most notably, this product separates itself from other options in the Street/Track coilover systems in the following ways:
-Single Adjustment for Rebound and Compression
-Inverted, Lightweight Construction
-All Aluminum Body
-BOA Mount
-CIRC System
-Fully Serviceable
-Easy to acces adjuster on bottom, 40 clicks front, 24 clicks rear
-Easy Ride height Adjustment at Spring Perch
-Durability Tested for Millions of Cycles
-Custom Spring Rates Available
INVERTED DESIGN: Placing the majority of the mass on the sprung side of the chassis allows the control arms and outboard components to react quicker and easier without the additional weight of the coilover.
LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGH STRENGTH MATERIALS: The Feather Light Generation SAs are an all aircraft aluminum body which boasts high strength and very low weight. With the body and spring perch being manufactured out of anodized high-strength aluminum, you no longer have to worry about corrosion locking the two together. Don’t settle for heavy steel components.
BOA MOUNT, THE NEW STANDARD IN CORVETTE SHOCK UPPER MOUNTING: The new BOA mount also used in our FeatherLight DA system is a no-compromises solution to Corvette shock upper mounts. Our mount is a zero-maintenance, completely sealed design that allows the FULL articulation required for the Corvette suspension. Take a look at the video to see the new BOA MOUNT in action!
THE CIRC SYSTEM, A REVOLUTION IN REMOTE CANISTERS: A premium feature on the SAs that is unique to Pfadt is the CIRC (Concentric Integrated Remote Canister) System. We integrate the functionality of a remote reservoir into the shock to maximize suspension stroke for a very smooth ride on the street. The CIRC more than triples the gas volume over a standard coil over. The result: a large gas volume that keeps the shock operation consistent over a wide temperature range and throughout the stroke. The bottom line: Consistency and performance over the life of the shock.
EASY ONE-STEP RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Included in our coilover kit is the single tool that you need to adjust the perch and tighten the set screw to lock the perch in location. Very simple, strong, and reliable.
FLOATING PISTON INTERNAL DESIGN: The most effective internal design for a performance shock that needs to last a lifetime of street use is the floating piston design, or “non emulsion” design. Our floating piston design utilized in the Feather Light Generation SAs will keep your Corvette's suspension predicable and controllable for a precise feeling on the street and track. GM’s Z06 and Z51 shocks don’t have oil and gas compromises, neither should your coilovers.
SIMPLE AND ACCESSIBLE DAMPING ADJUSTMENT: The unique inverted design of the FeatherLight Generation SA's places the adjuster on the bottom of the shock in an easy to access location. No special tools are required, and no “adapters” that can frequently break are necessary. All that is required is your hand to grasp the easy-touch rotary **** on the bottom of the shock. Up front you will feel 40 distinguishable settings with the rear having 24. The adjustment range encompasses soft to stiff valving for customers wanting to fine tune their ride quality or race track set up.
DURABILITY: As part of Pfadt Race Engineering’s ongoing effort to support the Corvette community these coilovers have been pushed to the limits on our in-house, Pfadt-designed, DAMPER DURABILITY RIG. We have run all versions of current coilovers through rigorous testing on this machine for weeks, simulating tens of thousands of miles and literally millions of cycles. We've also street and track tested the SAs to cover the complete set of circumstances. Take a look at the video below and get and idea of what a Pfadt coilover goes through to qualify it as suitable for a Corvette installation.
SUPPORT AFTER THE SALE: When you purchase a Pfadt Feather Light Generation coilover, your purchase doesn’t end at the sale. We are here to continue helping you with our entire package of set-up documents and technical help online and via phone. We help you use your new products effectively to get the results you want.
Overall, the idea of moving to a Corvette Coilover suspension is going to give you a huge leg up on other Corvettes in terms of handling and street drive-ability. Not only will this solve any unwanted driving characteristics, but it will also give you the ability to tailor your Corvette’s ride to your specific taste with a large range of ride height and damping adjustments.
Give us a call today at 1-888-972-2464 to discuss the specifics of our new Single Adjustable coilovers and how they can transform your Corvette into a predicable, precise handling machine on the street and track. We have relied on over 5 years of Corvette coilover experience to now showcase all of the data we have collected and optimized for this design. Engineered and tested in Utah, made in North America, take advantage of our hard work on your Corvette and reap the benefits.

Sorry! The coilovers we take in on trade will not be resold to the public.
The first round of FeatherLight Singles has been shipped, with more to fulfill preorders soon on the way! Thanks for the feedback jthurik. We are really excited to see what you guys think of this new set. After spending the weekend at Corvettes of Carlisle and seeing the reaction of folks in person, we are even more excited!

Another batch of these will be ready shortly which should take us completely out of any backorder status. This will put FeatherLights on our shelves and ready for purchase! Demand for these parts has been excellent and we've actually had to increase production capabilities to catch up with orders.
We've got a lot of extremely happy folks out there with the FeatherLight Singles, be sure to contact us today about how our suspension products can help you reach your performance goals!
