Our Pfadt Adjustable Coil Over and Race Sway Bar systems increase the overall spring rate of your Corvette without compromising ride quality when you're not at the track. When upgrading any suspension set up, the most important result is that the shocks and sways work well together out of the box AND provide the driver with basic tuning tools to dial in the perfect set up for the car.
Our Coil Over and Sway Bar combination work amazingly well to keep maximum tire contact with the track. The coil overs increase the overall spring rate of the car without making the damping harsh. We supply recommended starting points that offer a well balanced, well engineered setup that we actually run on our own cars. It’s the best of both worlds on and off the track! Our Race Sway Bars provide superior anti-roll stiffness and are a crucial tuning tool. We recommend starting with our settings and following our basic guidelines if you decide to make changes.
The Aggressor I Package is ideal for the track day enthusiast who also uses the car on the street. If the adjustability intimidates you it’s only because it’s something new for you – not because it’s actually hard to do. Moreover, if you don’t want to adjust them, you don’t have to. This package is designed to bolt on and trim seconds from your lap times!
The final step in your upgrade is the Pfadt Camber Kit. You'll spend a lot of money getting a performance alignment done on your car - don't let that setting change just because you hit a pot hole, drop two wheels off the track or bang into some FIA curbing! It's a known issue that the factory eccentrics are prone to slipping. Our camber kit allows you to achieve the maximum negative camber and eliminates the eccentrics so that the the settings don't slip. You'll be able to get more negative camber with our kit than is possible with the stock set up.
Not fully convinced of this package's potential? Take the words of Johnny himself about what makes this package perfect for Corvette owners:
"...the stage two allows for more adjustability. I had been concerned about doing coil overs, as being honest, I had never driven any that even came close to being what I would want and expect. In speaking with Aaron about this, I can't tell you how pleased I am at the final product. I would certainly not just consider it as being for the track, as a lot of compliance is built into it for everyday driving, which is something I really wanted in the package. But when you want to push the limits on the track, well just like stage one you have a system that is progressive, gives great feel, and should be easy to drive hard."
I think timd hit it on the head there! That Pfadt package is awesome for street and course. The new Pfadt Featherlights are awesome coilovers with great adjust-ability. You can talk to the ECS boys up there they'll get you set into a nice deal installed
I personally run the older generation Pfadt's on my Gen Five and would like to swap them out as money allows!
I have the LG GT2s also. They have been OK. Just a note between the Pfadts and LGs - the Pfadts are "upside" down, so you don't have to remove the tire to adjust them, especially from street to track and back again. The adjusters are at the bottom of the shock. You can reach around/thru the tire and adj them. The LGs have to have the front tires removed to reach them. The rears have the adj you can run through into the trunk area. But these have not worked very well for me. The lines bind up and do not turn the adjusters. I have to remove the wheels, loosen the shock mount at the top and help turn them from there. Hence, I leave them on my track settings at all times. A little rough on the street, but a small price to pay. I went with the LGs because they seem like they might be more durable. Good luck with your choice.

Great input all!
Why do u say the lg is more durable?
Are the pfadts just like the lg as for quality? Because if so, the lg is lil cheaper.
Same here! I went back and forth between the LG and the Pfadt's. Yes the LG's come in a little cheaper but since a buddy of mine had the LG and blew one of them out, I decided to try my hand with the Pfadt's. Couldn't be happier.
I had the LG gt2's and they seemed really cheap and I would put a lot of money on them that says they are made chinaland, materials were on par with all the other cheap chinese coilovers you can get for other cars for $400 and they ride similarly (heavily underdamped even cranked to the max) Also I blew out the front right one. Points for LG though for sending me a new shock for free no questions asked.
The LG g2's are 100 times better, but not height adjustable independant of spring preload which is a real bummer and a deal killer. Ditto on the Pfadts (and really any of the better coilovers) but I like their approach better.
IMO If I were going to buy any new coilovers I'd just do it right once and shell out the cash for some Penske or Motons, but if I had to "cheap out" or never really tracked the car I'd get the Pfadts.

Penske or Motons would be way overkill for something mostly street.
And what do you mean the LG G2s are not height adjustable? I know they are not dampening adjustable.

Yes, please explain how they are not height adjustable.
You can come down with us to an event at NJMP and check out different suspensions. I have Penske triples with dual rate coilovers and others have the pfadts so you get to see different packages.
Initially I used Phoenix Performance to get the right ride height and balance correct. With many winning corvettes its hard to pass up their knowledge.
