Pfadt Racing brings you one-of-a kind adjustability and performance
with our Coil Over Kit. This kit was engineered with the performance
street driver and road course racer in mind. As an engineering firm, we
don’t believe that an off-the-shelf shock body is the appropriate
solution for your Corvette.
Some will tell you that if you’ve got 16 positions of damping
adjustment, 15 of them will be wrong. We would argue that for 16 cars
you need 16 unique settings, not to mention the needs of dual-purpose
(street and track) cars. Our single damping adjuster controls both
compression and rebound. The range of adjustment provides a wide choice
of damping to accommodate both daily drivers and dedicated track cars.
For example, most people like to drive to and from work with our coils
set around 8, while for track days they’ll increase the damping to 12.
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. 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. If you
choose a product that doesn’t offer adjustable damping, your only option
for setting up your car will be to change the springs. And if you change
the springs without the ability to adjust the damping accordingly,
you’ve just ruined the “perfectly balanced system” that you thought you
bought. Pfadt, along with manufacturers like Moton and Penske all
understand the necessity of adjusting the damping to perfect the
handing.
One of the key advantages of our coil over kit is the flexibility
with setting ride height. Our shock bodies are fully threaded and thread
into (or out of) the lower mounting cup giving you the ability to adjust
the overall shock length by about 3 inches. It’s no problem to maintain
stock ride height or slam it nice and low. The important thing about
changing ride height by using our threaded body is that you don’t have
to sacrifice shock travel to lower the car.
Compared to the stock C6 Z06 leaf springs, our coil overs are
approximately 50% stiffer. Pfadt brand components are strong,
lightweight and tested for dependability and durability. Our mounting
cups are custom designed brushed aluminum for functionality and elite
appearance. Our Pfadt coil springs are engineered, built, and tested not
to take a set.
The installation is straightforward and does not require any
modifications to the chassis. These coil overs will bolt right on. You
just need to remove the leaf spring.
The Pfadt Coil Over kit will save you over 3 pounds over the stock
leaf/shock package.
