C6 Z06 Pfadt coil over upgrade -is it worth it?
I track my C6 Z06 regularly and wanted to improve the handling .Has anyone fitted the Pfadt Featherlite coil overs and do they make a noticable improvement in handling / cornering .
I see they have a single ( compression) adjustment or double -(compression and rebound adjustment) at a significant increase in cost .
Is the additional cost rewarded by significant handling improvement?
Thanks
Richard.

They both share our unique BOA upper mounting system which allows for great packaging for the Corvette Chasiss which isn't easy to package coilovers into. The inverted shock design and some of the lightweight materials selection is the same, but that's really where the similarities end.
The FeatherLight Singles Feature:
- Simple single **** damping changes which effect both Compression and Rebound
- CIRC Canister for extra gas volume over a standard single adjustable shock
- Wide range of damping to work well on the street and track
- 40 units of front damping adjustment and 30 rear units
- Spring rates suited for dual purpose vehicles
The FeatherLight Doubles Feature:
- Indepenant Compression and Rebound damping control
- External canisters for even more gas volume
- Fine damping adjustment control for ultimate precision during setup
- Fully rebuildable and Revalvable by the engineers at Pfadt Race Engineering
- Spring rates suited for Competition track use, with custom rates available
- Damping rates designed to put more Corvette Racers on the podium
Overall if you're looking for a true competition damper setup for your Corvette look no farther than the FeatherLight Double Adjustables. For cars that will see a good amount of street time the FeatherLight Singles offer a ton of features at an extremely approachable price point.

I'm on pfadt coilovers, single adjustable, not featherlights. driving my car back to back with a stock zo6 my car rides better, albeit more firm, the coilovers are more compliant, and with the coilovers the power gets down sooo much better. track behavior is a lot more predictable and the coilovers perform much better on uneven surfaces.
I absolutely recommend any suspension components from pfadt.

Ron and the guy's at Vengeance Racing just installed a set of single adjustable featherlights on my car today. It's still in the shop for engine mods so once it's complete I will have my own review.
I'd also like to put on their adjustable sway bars and mounting blocks hoping to get better road feel through the steering.

The level of customer service that I've received from Pfadt has been exemplary as well. I purchased my car with the coilovers already installed. I had some issues with their installation and Aaron sent me new parts right away, free of charge. I think that Pfadt's parts are well engineered and well built, by people who put them to the test time and time again, on road and track.
Just buy the coilovers already!
