Pfadt coil overs
I am looking for some feed back from anyone who has installed Pfadt coil overs on their car. Are you happy with the handling, and the ability to adjust the ride height of your car?

I have the Aggressor II package from PFADT. The car handles great , It doesn't lean in turns or dip when heaving braking. My stock suspension handle too soft. My car now handles like a vette and can do anything I imagine. The car sits sits a little lower and gets plenty of looks. Is a must have!!

I hit a massive hole last week on the passenger side, BANG BANG, the body didn't flex, I had to pull over and check the panels because I was sure 1 of the tires had to get high enough to strike them. But everything was fine.
By the way, wheel hop is gone, no more bouncing around rough corners and off/on ramps are done at 70 mph

I have them and love them. I am lowered very low and it takes a pretty good bump to bottom out my rears. I am runnin 335s on the rear. I installed them myself. Did the fronts one day and the rears the next. The hardest part for me was getting all the stock stuff off. I used jack stands and a floor jack. The only thing i ran into was I had a noise when i hit bumps. took me a few days to figure out what it was..I finally checked the top nut on the shocks and found that they were loose allowing some play on the top mount. Once I tightened them up all the noise went away and have not looked back since..You will like them..

I like my coil overs however the upper shock nuts could loosen, two weeks ago the rear passenger side nut completely unscrewed and fell off allowing the coil over to hammer over bumps. I replaced the supplied nuts with two nuts per coil over so the nuts could be tightened against each other, I think they are M10 x 1.25.
