Some of you are looking for the ultimate reaction and 60 foot times on your drag race builds or your weekend comp Camaros. We know where we can help most, and that is getting the right suspension underneath your car. In response to all of the drag racing inquiries, Pfadt has released dedicated Drag Racing Coilovers for the Camaro5! Designed from the ground up as a no compromise straight line solution, the Pfadt Drag Coilover Package features custom valving and spring rates to reduce wheel hop on launch and hard shifts, and to maximize weight transfer at launch.
After hundreds of hard drag launches during testing, spring rates and damper lengths were chosen to allow for extra front end lift and rear end squat. To complement the softer front and rear spring rates the Pfadt team selected custom damping that allows the front end to fully extend, transfer weight quickly to the rear end, and have the rear stay planted. This weight transfer is key to straight line traction by shifting the weight from the front end back to the rear wheels.
As with the Pfadt Street Coilover kits, static ride height is fully adjustable from about stock ride height to 1.5inches lower than stock. The dampers have 20 individual damping adjustment positions for fine tuning the car while launching. The installation of these coilovers requires no cutting or modification of any kind to install on the vehicle; set the ride height and have fun!
This is a competition level drag race package, and isn't for everyone. Because drag racing poses unique challenges to suspension design that don't necessarily translate well to superior cornering ability, handling will be very different from what you have come to expect from the Street Coilover packages. With the dampers adjusted to full stiff your car will be very capable on the street, but over all a bit softer than stock.
You should see them in person. It is a shame that they have to be hidden underneath the car.
