Well it's been a little while since Pfadt went out. I'm still needing some replacement parts, bushings, that I have been unable thus far to source elsewhere. Somehow I feel that Pfadt didn't make these soft parts in-house and someone had to supply them. So I'm just throwing this out there, hoping someone will see this that might have some suggestions or knowledge as to where I might find them.
I realize now that I was penny-wise and pound foolish buying 1st gen Pfadt coilovers. But now that I have, I can't just throw $1100.00 in the trash, especially over $20.00 worth of rubber parts.
All I need is the "black poly collar" and "black poly base for the front shocks and I'm in business.
You should be able to source them, have you tried to send them a message on here to see who you might get parts from?
I actually spoke with them in the last few weeks before they shut down but it has been a total blackout since then. I did a PM on here with no response.

I read that thread too, guess it would not hurt to contact them too.

I sourced my Pfadt tranny mount bushing replacement here:
Measure your parts and look for equivalents in vendor web sites/catalogs.
After seeing your post about the brace I spent a few hours looking with no success. I should take another stab at that also. Very disappointing that no one at Pfadt were really Vette people willing to at least provide information.
