We are coming along with the development of the slightly revised coilovers, but it's still going to be a while until final development pieces are ready to go. We've been able to get some On Track testing under their belts, but we don't quite have an ETA on when they will be available.
Well then what are you doing on C5?! Time's a wastin'!

There have been a handful of 2012 users we've heard from lately looking for sways. Bump for the new folks!

A little update you guys looking for coilovers might be interested in.

Prototype Camaro Fronts that we are now currently testing in conjunction with the new Camaro Rears. We still have a ways to go before actual production sets will be available and the won't look exactly like this... but you guys might be interested to see how it's coming along!

Awesomeness!

By the way, I'll be sharing it shortly but your drag spec coil-overs (and everything else in your catalog lol) helped us win the 5th Gen Shootout at the Super Chevy Show with our stock block drag spec Camaro this weekend! We went 10.62 @ 132mph with a 1.48 60'. Not bad for a 4150lb 100% street car

Sweet! 1.48 in a 4150lb car isn't too bad at all! Great work!

Hey guys... Not to hijack Erik, but to give Pfadt some props, here but we went 1.47 60' on our 9-second pass with the PFADT suspension !!!

We have been a best of 1.41 60' but I cannot find the slip, so therefore it never happened

Be sure to keep us updated on the red car Erik!

It sure would be a shame to see a North/South 60" shootout between ECS and Torq.

Nothing wrong with friendly competition and using the same BEST parts available

We encourage all of our customers to go out and beat records, I'd rather see the parts go faster not the shops!

Will the new style sways clear 20x11.5 wheels like CCW?

I don't have a firm date as of right now, but we are getting closer. A final design has been set on, we are just waiting for the opportunity to begin bending bars!

It's going to be close. The bends in this bar follow the factory bar pretty closely, with the exception of the final bend radius. The key to proper wheel and tire fitment is going to be the offset and backspacing. We have plenty of clearance with 20x10.5 BBS CH's, and the larger the wheel diameter the more clearance you're going to have, but every wheel being different it's really hard to say whether the 11.5" will clear or not.
