Default [PICS]MESV PFADT Coilover Throwdown! MOD DAY PICS![PICS]

Well once again a few local Forum MESV guys decided to get together at Shagsters house to knock out John Bourgs Pfadt Coilover install!

It was a blast Shagster got started early this morning and everyone trickled in to lend a hand on Johns Coilovers.

What you are about to see is real, these are completely un trained Proffesionals, under the supervision of no one, attempt at your own RISK!

The Mad Scientist! Shagster ready to go to work:



Everyone gettin to work!



Moosee ready for a break



Shakey doin his thing LOL (Z06Joe)



Moosee with the Gheto Wedgy! Gotta watch your back installin with us LOL!



Working on the passenger front:



Oh So NICE



Wayne 68ragtop69 shows up in his new C3 (You'll see in it in Corvette Enthusiast Magazine soon!) Coolest C3 I have ever seen





Getting the rears done!





OMG Run He's got that Crazy Look in his eyes Again!



Big John Bourg Showing up Helping with the finishing touches!



All Done THE PAY OFF!





Had a blast guys! Great work and a great Saturday with some forum members!

It was pretty late and I did'nt have my tripod so the last pic's were all hand held with a huge ISO. Anyways what that means is I didn't get any more then those two that were usable.

I am going to do a photo shoot before too long with this car!

He'll enjoy them. The springs are heavier than the stock Z06 ones. Even at soft settings on the shocks though it is not a smooth ride for a street car. Now for track work they are nice. Especially when mixed with a set of T1 sway bars. I like the setup. Corner weighted the car myself in my garage. Then put on scales and it is within 1% cross corner.

If you hear thumping in the rear after a day or so. You'll need to re-torque the nut on the top of the shock. Those poly bushings do compress a bit. Once I tightened them up they are fine.
