Pfadt springs and sways installed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Purchased the Pfadt springs and sway bars through the group buy around Christmas. Finally got around to installing these and boy do they make a difference. The car to me handles alot better and the look is unbelievable. Pictures do not do this justice. I would recommend for people who are wanting to replace tires and rims to wait until they get this done before they make a decision. I have already committed to 5500.00 worth of tires and rims(22's) and If i would have waited I would have just done springs and sways and put the rest back into the performance of car. Just my two cents..Excellent product..Here are a few pictures. Let me know what you guys think..

But wait till fist part of Feb PFADT will have out the adjustable camber plates which you will need so you will have to pull back apart and re align

Looks Damn good almost as good as mine LOL

Billy thank you..Bumbleb your ride looks great with factory rims too..I wish man I would have waited..but we will see how 22s look..

Car looks great! We are happy to hear you are pleased with the revised look and feel of the car now. And just as a teaser:

Yes these will be available very soon. A recent scheduled test of these parts and a lot of others, got snowed out

So its taking a bit longer than anticipated. Thanks!

What is this for and how does it fit into your Camaro "Package"?
Thanks!

My mistake Z_Rocks, I was referencing BUMBLEB's previous post, but failed to quote it. These are our Pfadt adjustable camber plates for the front of the Camaro. When installed, these will accomodate well over an extra degree of negative camber for racing purposes, as well as providing a quick, repeatable, and easy way to adjust camber on your car when installing drop springs or coilovers. Let me know if you want any more info regarding these. Thank you for inquiring!

Damn. I need to take a freaking class.

OP, is there a super noticeable difference in cornering? Or is it fairly subtle?

tjd24 · 01-24-2010, 08:05 AM

I went with Pfadt Sport Sway Bars as well - see this thread for my post - http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60477

I noticed an immediate performance gain in cornering with the Sport Sway Bars installed - my 2LT Camaro held curves tighter, the front end was level and there was no understeer I could feel.

I appreciate the time Aaron Pfadt spent with me to understand sway bars / springs / coil overs - his explanations plus the references from so many camaro5 members made going with Pfadt products the clear choice. Next up is are the coil overs in the Spring/Summer once the summer Pirellis are back on...

I did the Eibach springs and bars and the difference in cornering is AMAZING! I'm sure all drops and bars are the same in this respect. The car responds NOW to steering inputs, and corners like a slot car.

Hope this helps!

Pq, we have had alot of rain in Georgia since Friday, so I have not been able to test it out much yet..However from the ride home the steering response and cornering was nite and day compared to the factory...I did notice a few more subtle bumps in the road than I have felt before..But the feel of it all just made the car pop..I will update more after I have had the time to test everything..Thanks

Cool. I'll be looking forward to the update. So the springs weren't too bad with stiffness and road bumps. Good to hear. Even though it wouldn't bother me much anyway.

Being an LT I don't think you'd have the same results as the SS because of stock suspension but as long as I know it made a good difference I feel better about it.

Good feed back on a great product, and all of this rapport is really made what we do so much easier (thanks fellows for the support). The photos look great, and I am digging the stripe color on the silver!
