I have single adjustable Pfadt coil overs on my C6 Z and I am happy with them. Also just purchased and installed Pfadt double adjustable coil overs for my 2002 z06 race car. Have not used car yet so can't give feedback except Pfadt customer service has been great.

Hey Manny! If you're in the market for a great quality, double adjustable shock package you should really look at our FeatherLight Generation Double Adjustables. We spent a lot of time designing a shock package specifically for the Corvette to help put our users on the podium. There are some key features you will find with our doubles that you won't find with any other Corvette double adjustable:

Our exclusive BOA upper mounting system was deisgned to reduce the amount of required packaging space for the upper mount which gives us room to dial in more available shock travel and oil/gas volume. It also drastically reduces the amount of forces seen at the shock shaft compared to a pin top style upper mount resulting in greater durability.

The damper rates have been designed to bring the most out of your Corvette Race Car handling package, and were setup by our lead engineer and NASA National Champion Aaron Pfadt. We know what works for these cars and what it takes to help you win.

There is some flexibility in the system as well, we have multiple spring packages available for your specific needs. If you have any questions about spring rates or car setup, please feel free to give us a call. We are always happy to help out our customers with any suspension related techncial assistance we can provide.

If you have any questions please let us know! With more and more users running our Doubles every month, we are really excited to see how well these are performing in the field. Here is some video footage from the McBen Motorsports ST2 Corvette during this years NASA stop at Road Atlanta. They are running our Double Adjustable's and have loving the improved suspension performance.

If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call. We can be reached at 1-888-972-2464, or you can email me directly at jarrett@pfadtracing.com.

Not nice to ask for advice/help and then just let the threads die without any explanation or conclusion.

ok RBL , well we made a it out to the track last week we still haven't totally fixed the car .. we believe the problem was a simple one.. the marine Tin Coated battery cable doesn't like to be solder ..so we can get to the track we ended up running a second 4 ga cable direct from the battery to the fuse block ,,, its a temp fix and we plan on making new cables next week when we unload the vette out of the trailer..

it all came back to the battery cables... but we tested them over and over again and at the end it turned out that they were the problem.. Bottom line make sure you crimp the ends instead of just solder them.

now back to this thread.. looking for a set of coil overs for my track car....you have any input?
