The shock bodies from a lot of the other companies are mass manufactured for all applications, then perches or extensions are made per car. The PFadt stuff are all purpose built for our specific cars that are tested on our specific cars, over and over again. I would not want a generic body on my personal car that is adapter to fit. Why even spend the money at this point, we are not talking about $50, $100 here.. Talking thousand plus here, so why not buy something that is purpose built for the vehicle. Back to the OP's original subject, the Pfadt's do not have to drill through the trunk |

Truth be told, neither one is easy to adjust the rears. The XAs I have just have the hole drilled in the upper perch so you could adjust from under the car. The Pfadts I have you have to dig around inside the rear LCA. Not as easy as Pfadt says, but in my opinion both are equally challenging.

KW's do not require drilling. If you look at KW, don't go with anything below Variant 3.
I'm looking at picking up a set of Pfadt's new system for my car later this year or possibly a set of Pedders super car coil overs. Good luck with your search Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Completely true. BC Racing for example is a white-label manufacturer for many high-end manufacturers. Buy from the source, get a huge bang for the buck. We have sold hundreds of BC Racing coilover systems (many for the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO) without issue. There are many of quality options available, nothing wrong with any of them.
