Sometimes the simplest questions

I've got no direct experience, but on here ya read about Pfadt almost every other post and have seen articles/shows detailing their development of corvette suspension components.....

Others "in the know" will chime in I'm sure....


Good Luck, wish I could afford em

"Which is better?" Always a simple question, but no way to give a simple answer. Better how? Cost? Ease of installation? Fit/finish? Ride quality? Handling improvement? Adjustability? Manufacturer support?

We feel like we are currently the premiere manufacturer of Corvette suspension components. No other company puts the engineering effort into it's suspension products that we do. We don't have a single shock body that we use for multiple platforms, what we do have are custom engineered solutions for your Corvette suspension needs. We aren't the least expensive solution on the market, but we are the company whose focus is most directly aimed at Corvette and Camaro customers.

Our new FeatherLight Generations are the most durable coilovers we have ever produced, and we are extremely excited to get them on customers cars. We are in the final stages of durability testing, and the shocks are receiving excellent marks for performance and longevity from our engineering staff.

If you have any specific questions about your Corvette setup please feel free to contact our staff at 1-888-972-2464 or info@pfadtracing.com

Stance is big in the import world and they are more beginner (cheap) coilovers that are mainly used for looks rather than performance. Can’t believe they want $1500 for the Corvette coilovers when the STi ones can be had for $799. I helped a friend install a set on his car and the finish quality is what one may suspect for a cheaper set of coilovers. Ride quality is apples to oranges since this isn’t on a Corvette but similar to what higher dollar coilovers would ride like with way stiffer springs. Personally I would look more towards Pfadt, LG, and the often overlooked AST. All are good quality.
