I had the opportunity to have a set of lowering springs, sways and polyurethane bushings installed by PFADT Race Engineering for nothing if I'd let them borrow my car for six days. I didn't do it and now I'm kicking myself for it! I wish I could tell you, but I can't

So all I can say is, PFADT RACE ENGINEERING is the only way to go if you want the best ride, handling and look for your 2010 Camaro.

Just installed, the PFADT drop springs, and the Sport Sway bar / balance bar package, front & rear. This is a fantastic feat of engineering. Forget the term sway bar, this car is now balanced to perfection. This car is a whole new car with a whole new ride, I can’t believe the responsiveness and handling. This new and improved Camaro, with the new PFADT suspension is definitely a point and shoot……then you better hang on. You turn the wheel and the car is there, no roll, no twist, ………can you say freight-train on rails. Cornering is absolutely amazing. With the car 1” – 1 ¼ lower the body roll is almost non existent the car sits down and hugs the road like it should. The tires are on the ground and this car sticks, no sliding and you have more rubber to the road. The ride is very impressive and no problem as a DD (daily driver) Fantastic ride!!! Even with it lowered!! I can truly say I am now definitely PFADT and happy.

I guess all I need now it your complete poly bushing set, trailing arms, strut tower brace and I’ll be ready for the track…………

To everyone at PFADT Race Engineering I say thank you!!!! You have out done yourself with the engineering and design of these suspension mods…….. Keep up the good work!!! I’ll be watching and impatiently waiting as you release more products for the 2010 Camaro.
Current mods: Corsa CAT back ADM CAI PFADT Lowering springs, PFADT Sport Balance bars front & Rear.

I got the Pfadt sway bars a couple weeks ago, and got the rear one in easy the same day. But, I couldn't get the front one out. So I finally got around to trying to get the front sway bar replaced this weekend. Here's how the process went:

1) gaining access (both front tires off), 20 minutes

2) trying to get the original out, 2 hours

3) trying to decide if I want to permanently cut something off my new $36k car, 45 minutes

4) cutting the b1tch out, 1 hour (don't ask, lack of proper tooling)

5) installing new bar, 30 seconds

6) close-up, 20 minutes

Moral: Don't screw around trying to get the original out, cut it. The new one goes in so easy it's not worth worrying about.

I'll follow up later with comments on the new handling.

Well people keep hyping these bars I might need to get a set.

LOL...yeah..removing the front bar is an exercise in patience...reminding of one of these puzzles:

Sorry it gave you such a fit!

Michael_Js · 10-19-2009, 02:19 PM

I almost had that same "cutting" idea! It was a bear to get the front OEM bar out! I almost gave up. Turning the wheels all the way to the left (I think) helped a lot...the new bars went in very easy.

The rear OEM bar did not come out without the removal of my Zoomers exhaust. Also, the Zoomers can comes too close to the rear differential oil removal plug, so that will be another issue when I change the rear oil :(

Did some aggressive back road driving Sat & Sun - she rides on rails now! Love it! As soon as I can afford the lowering springs - and the $ to have them installed - that's my next mod!

ADM PERFORMANCE · 10-19-2009, 06:52 PM

Probably one of the easiest Installs I have ever done.

Some here have not had the pleasure of working on hard vehicles yet..Good job guys at GM and pfadt.
