I'm extremely sorry to see Pfadt close their doors. I received only amazing products and support from them. But like all on this forum, we're eagerly awaiting your return. Good luck, Aaron.

I'm so sad for you guys. PFADT was a brand name for quality and a star on every good Camaro in the street.

What a shame and what a lost !!!!

Oh my goodness, this makes me so sad. :(

Badbubba · 02-27-2014, 07:58 AM

This sucks! I received my trailing arms and toe rods from Apex recently. They were delayed, this explains it. Liked the material switch to stainless and was interested in other Pfadt products. This sucks!

I have the same parts. I do not notice any new noise coming from the rear.

We're still in shock about this very sad turn of events. I worked for Aaron and Robbin as the Operations Manager and I know they put everything into their company. I was proud to be a part of their organization and help it grow. Since starting JDP I've continued to support Pfadt products because of the engineering, performance and high quality.

We have run the Pfadt chassis products on our JDP Stage IV Track Spec Camaro for the last 3 years; because of their products it is one of the most recognized 5th Gens in the world on the road course and autocross course. We've won multiple NASA National Championship in Corvette's equipped with their well engineered and thought out pieces.

We wish you and Robbin the very best of luck in all of your future endeavors. I hope you're able to restructure and come back better than ever with more cutting edge innovative products. Thank you for your support over the years and let us know if you need anything. This is truly a sad time for the GM and racing community.

Kind regards,

Man this is really sad news. I was looking forward to installing many PFADT parts on my Camaro in the near future and it won't be so easy now. I'm already using the lowering springs from them and I absolutely love them! I wish the best of luck to PFADT as whole and I hope to see their doors open for business pretty soon because I will be among the first customers to purchase products on the first day they open again. This is truly a sad time for many loyal PFADT customers but we can only hope and wait that everything will be straighten out soon. Wish I could help with anything...

Crazy. An awesome company with an even better product line. Out of business due to, to much business. WTF?

Good luck and bring it back guys!!!!

Doc · 02-28-2014, 12:39 PM

Wow. Just now saw this. I'm just stunned; first Pedders and now Pfadt. Aaron, you guys need to get together with Justice Pete and see what you can put together. The combined experience, knowledge and skill you would have would be legendary. I love your Tri-Y headers; I get compliments on the sound all the time.

You got my prayers man.

Aaron I'm gonna need some Prozac!!

Man, so sad to hear about this. I've been a huge fan since day 1, and have always admired the amount of engineering and testing, and attention to detail that you guys have put into your products. Aaron, Robbin, Blair, Kerry and co., good luck to you all in your future endeavors, I will be rooting for you!
