I just did Pfadt coil-overs and Pfadt street sways. The difference in extreme. It feels like a completely different car. Shock setting can be adjusted (from 1 -16) in a few minutes; ride height can be adjusted in a few minutes. I am currently running at 6 front; 6 rear, and the car rides better than it ever did with the factory suspension; and handles better as well. When the snow melts here I am going to play around with the settings a bit more.

I am using the Pfadts and they are probably one of the best things I have done. The ride is firm and precise now. It plants so much better on rougher roads. No downside really because it can be adjusted anyway you want it.

if the car very gets out of the shop i'll be sure to tell you. I did phadt coilovers, phfatty sway bars, bushings and engine mounts. From the research i've done and what i've heard; they are exceptional! 16 way adjustable coilovers, pretty much give you any combo you could need at the track.

My down side is that I installed them 3 weeks ago and because of my gravel driveway I can't test them.
Roads are plowed clean but my 200+ foot driveway can't be cleared low enouph without missing it up. So when I plow the blade is kept 2" high.
It's been snow and ice all winter, can't start the car or leave the garage.
