If you’re in the market for coil overs, add another great option to the list.  Pfadt Engineering will be releasing Pfadt Featherlight Generation coil over series next month. 

The Featherlight Generation of coil overs from Pfadt have a lot to offer:

1.  Inverted design for lower unsprung mass
2.  Aluminum body
3.  Made in the USA
4.  Pfadt custom delrin spherical mounting system
5.  Hypercoil Springs (rates to be released soon)
6.  Single adjuster for both compression and rebound
7.  Adjustable body length allows ultimate ride height flexibility
8.  Non-emulsion design with separate gas chamber

The Pfadt Corvette-specific shock body design incorporates the delrin spherical mounting system.

Ultra-light weight like the name implies, the Featherlight coil overs from Pfadt will provide the ultimate in construction, design and easy track-day tuning.

The adjustment knobs are easily accessed by reaching behind the wheel so you won’t have to modify your car.  The really cool thing about the custom design of our adjustment knobs is that by Summer 2009 we’ll have available in-cockpit adjustability.  You’ll be able to tune your suspension damping from the comfort of the driver’s seat.  Stay tuned for the cool features and interface of this option!

This launch of the Featherlight Generation single adjustable coil over is only the beginning.  Pfadt’s next coil over launch in mid Summer 2009 will be the Featherlight Pro Series.  The Pro Series will feature an external remote canister and independent 2- or 3-Way adjustability.

Expect introductory pricing to be $2500 – $2600. 

As many member know, VCC BLU has been running the first generation Pfadt steel coil-overs and adjustable sway bar kit for 2+ years now.  It is great to see  output of the research and development going on at Pfadt Engineering.  

It does not surprise me that Pfadt Engineering is growing quickly and enjoying their hard won success  in both racing and the market place.  Pfadt’s products are both made of quality materials and are expertly engineered by Aaron. 

Having the benefit of both working with and meeting Aaron and Robin Pfadt  in person,  I can safely say they are good Corvette people.

I wanted to share a new source for Corvette related posters and prints that I found at Cruiserboulevard.com. There is a good selection of Corvette posters available, many of which I have not seen available elsewhere.

I am a big fan of the technical Corvette cutaway posters and just ordered the poster above  for $11.95. I have not seen a two sided technical poster of a C5 Z06 like this available before so I just had to buy it.

There is a coupon code available to get a discount of 15% off any and all posters on the website.

Enter CF in the coupon code box to receive the discount.
