Default Pfadt classic coil over help!!!
I have a set of the classic Pfadt coil overs on a c6 and noticed today the top adjuster broke off!

Anyone know how or where this piece can be replaced at?

A company called AFE performance took over that product line. They are now a sponsor/vendor on this forum I believe.

I am considering LG coil overs. Do coil overs make the ride (non track) harsh? My '10 does not even have a Z51 setup

If you have a base suspension coupe!then you will certainly get a harsher ride....but the handling and sense of the car being planted .....IS WORTH IT. Transforms the car

I was able to use a 3mm Alan wrench to adjust it! While I have no idea how many clicks it translates to this piece should be easily engineered and duplicated. No physical damage to shock and it operates properly, just the adjuster piece on the top :/
