My understanding is that they have decided not to come out with them.

My brother was interested in them and that is what he was told by Pfadt fairly recently.

Might want to look into the new LG units. Getting some good feedback. Do a search on member WKMCD.

I'm Independent1's brother. I've been talking with Pfadt over the last year about the featherweight coil overs.

I sold off my regular Pfadt coil overs in anticipation of these coming to the market. Per my conversation with Aaron a few weeks ago, I found out that they were busy working on other projects and did not have an exact date when these "Featherweights" would be ready for market.

My bro' mis-understood me as I was also waiting on the upper ball joints too, which Aaron finally told me that they are not going to make.

Personally, if you're in a time crunch I would go with the LG's because they have easier access than the current Pfadt model to the rear shock adjustment.

With the Pfadt's current coil over you have to drill a holes (2) in your trunk to access the adjustment ***** where you do not have to do this with the LG's.

Personally, when I'm ready to buy coil overs, if the Pfadt Featherweights are not ready to go, LG is my choice. The price point is much better than the featherweights and LG has a good reputation for their coil overs.

Also the reviews for the LG's product have been good, while the Pfadt's have been untested.

Lots to think about before throwing out your hard earned money.
