Well I'm glad to see that Pdaft is a stand up company. That there are still some people out here that still believes in providing great customer service. That's why I've decided to purchase my swaybars and endlinks from them. My first mod to be- yeahhhhhhhhh !!!! lol !! As for you redrocket glad things worked out for you man. Now give them hell on those mean streets brother !!!!

+1 They have been closed since Wednesday afternoon. I believe they will be back up and running Monday. If I can be of assistance in the mean time feel free to hit me up.

I really hope this works. ive had people check the car out to find out what that noise is and couldnt find it. The sound is annoying and ive tried to ignore it for the past year.

It got to the point where a month ago i ordered a front set of BMR's. I havent gotten them yet as their on backorder with Apex, so i'm willing to give this a shot.

if it doesnt work then, BMR it is.

Thanks for the support guys. The entire process has been extremely frustrating for us since they were sounds that we couldn't reproduce any kind of noise on our RingSpec Camaro no matter what configuration of isolators, struts, or upper spring perches we used. That's why we had to head to Phoenix to troubleshoot with Loud Pedal on RedRocketSS's car.

Sorry for the delay Madmaxx. We've been swamped getting this move to a new facility in Salt Lake finished. I will be responding to all PM's here on the forums by the afternoon!

I have had your your springs on my car for almost a year and they are completely quiet, so I don't experience the noise others have. However, I did read about what they were experiencing, and I think it's phenominal that a company like yourself stands by the product and fixed the issue. Customer service means everythingggggg. All of you at Pfadt are a true class act, and have a fantastic group of individuals working there from engineersto customer service representatives. Keep the great products AND customer service going my friends.

Guys, i installed my Pfadt lowering springs on the 2012 SS saturday. Indexed the bushings myself. I love the stance. Drove a short distance with no noise. Drove to the alignment shop Monday with no noises and had them align it to Pfadt street performance specs. When i left I noticed a definite clunking/popping noise when making slow turns or on roadway transitions. I must say I was more than a little discouraged. I had already been reading the threads about noise and was a little apprehensive about installing these springs, since this is my wife's daily driver. My springs had isolators installed like Pic 2. Today I jacked up the front end and removed the top isolator. I really couldn't see how it would fix the noise I was hearing, but it ABSOLUTELY did! I could not be happier with these springs. The ride is great and the look is awesome. Thanks Pfadt for a great product and fantastic customer support.

I just got my springs installed today. Picked up the car after shop hours and had it left outside for me and as soon as I put it in gear and started rolling through the parking lot I heard the clunking. I was surprised that no one at the shop had heard it or if they did then why they didn't call me. I'm hoping to check it out tomorrow and have the same success story.

Love the stance though. I had the H&R springs on my V6 and the rear seemed to sag a little but these Pfadt springs are perfect. Good work

I thought the same thing. I was like how the F is this little thing gunna make the sound go away.

ok I followed the instructions and I'm still getting some noise. Does anyone have any other ideas before i resort to putting on the BMRs?

I recently installed these springs on my car as well. Sure enough the front springs popped and creaked during low speed turning. The noises were especially loud when turning the steering wheel left to right while the car was not moving. The noise was not faint either, it was very audible. Needless to say, I was not happy

My springs had the single isolator towards the top of the coil. I contacted Pfadt and they sent me additional isolator material. I installed the new material by butting it up against the end of the existing isolators. I then removed the original isolators, leaving the only new isolators installed.

I was very skeptical that this would solve my noise problems, but I am pretty confident that it did After I got the car back on the ground, I turned the steering wheel lock to lock and no noise I drove the car for about 50 miles including making some sharp turns in parking lots without any creaking noise. Now I can enjoy the improved looks and handling without sounding like a 1970's rust bucket!
