Installed PFADT Coilovers - Impressions...
Went from 1LT - No Options to Coilovers / Z06 Sways
Other than the ride being lowered just how I want it...
Here is my opinion on them...
The ride is much stiffer/tighter than before (10/16) setting...
The ride quality - Only way I could explain it would be that I can feel the road more but it isnt as sharp/jolting... the wheels plant better but when you go over bumps cracks whatever it isnt a harshness I had with stock. Its still there just smoother.
There is no brake dip or accel lift to speak of and body roll / lean i cant tell / feel any... just rides on rails around corners / curves.
Extremely satisfied with this modification.
Track day would be the best way to judge, raining earlier today cant really test it out.

Congrats for your new setup !!
I agree with you, i do not feel any dive or lift braking or accelarating !!!
I understand you are running 10 cliks at rear and 16 cliks at front. My vette is daily drive, and after testing many combinations, I run 10 at rear and 14 at front. For me it's the best compromise between grip and high speed stability. I've tested 12/16 cliks, and I experimented some grip loss.
The only problem with this configuration is on the wet, the car is more critical than stock, you have to be always very aware.

One thing that i have always wanted to know, is do they remove the big leaf spring?
