Default Goodies From PFADT

Got my PFADT Coil overs and bushings to upgrade one of my Vettes I wonder which one it will be


Yes they will go on the Slammed C5 and thanks to Jeff at American_HP@Total Performance for getting these to me and he was so easy to work with

The old version and I am going to put them in as is, not going with the update, these will be perfect for my Street Vette that has never seen an track other than the 1/4 or mile and these are for the mile and to keep me from hitting the ground so much being slammed

Some nice new toys Steve. But, why would you go to all that expense just to upgrade a stock C5?

That is a good question, because GM should have made this a factory item, like my Blower and other stock items I have added

I don't get it. With all the money tied up in your car in general, and the PFADT parts you just bought in paticular, why wouldn't you just spend another $125 and have the best and the latest?

I was thinkin' the same thing. Steve? The NCRS judges will knock points off for other than OEM shocks. Damn shame too, all numbers matching C5 and all.

I see your point, but I know they just depleted on hand stock to announce the new revised shock I and others should of had the option when we ordered. For a non road course Vette these will be great for my street Vette. Money is not the issue, I will not max out these shocks capabilities on street rubber or on the street

I just ordered mine from Jeff as well -- but I was not aware of an "updated version" being available - what is the difference?
