Quite simply put, these are the best Camaro coilovers that we
have ever built.
We were very focused on what we wanted to accomplish with these
coilovers. They are now being built completely in house by our
engineering staff in Salt Lake City. From filling the shocks with
oil and nitrogen, to building sub assemblies, to final assembly
including mounts and springs these coilovers are a unique Pfadt
Race Engineering design. Being an engineering firm we are able to
tailor all of our products to each specific application and you
won't find as much Camaro specific engineering in any other product
on the market. Making your Camaro lighter, stronger and faster is
what our parts are all about, and these coilovers are the latest
hardware designed to exceed your performance expectations. Key
features of our new Camaro Coilovers include:
Full ride height control, easily
adjusted.
Adjustable Dampers. 24 clicks front, 48 clicks
rear.
Camaro Specific Valving
Inverted Shock Design
BOA and CIRC Systems included
Spring Rates selected for improved street and
track performance
SIGNIFICANTLY Lighter than OEM design
Stronger than OEM design
Proven durability through torture testing
Complete Compatibility with all 10-13 Camaro
models. Including ZL1.
Simple Ride Height Control - Ride height
is set through one easy to use spring perch. You can achieve
everything from a stock ride height to about 2" lower than stock
and everythingin-between. This will let you easily dial in the
exact stance you're looking for. The revised front mounts also
feature more clearance for aggressive wheel and tire
combinations!
Adjustable Dampers - 24 Front Clicks and
48 Rear clicks of damping adjustment ensures that you will find a
setting that is both comfortable on the street, and still delivers
with amazing performance. The adjustment knob is placed
conveniently at the bottom of the shock and effects both Rebound
and Compression damping. Absolutely no drilling or adapters are
required to reach the adjuster knobs in either the front or
rear.
Custom Valving Specific to the Camaro -
Each of our Camaro units is valved and built in house by our own
engineers with valving that we developed on our ZL1. You won't find
our Camaro specific valving on any other coilover or product on the
market. Our valving is designed to improve response and really make
the car feel like it's glued to the road when you want it, while
still giving you the ability to tune the car softly for fantastic
street manners. We do include starting points for the dampers for
drag racing, street driving, and autox/road racing to make tuning
really simple!
Camaro Inverted Strut Comparison
Inverted Shock Design - Placing the
majority of the weight on the sprung side of the chassis allows the
control arms and outboard components to react quicker and easier
without the additional weight of the coilover itself. The result is
a suspension system that responds faster to changes in the road
whether its highway, local roads, or track surfaces. The less
weight that is on that outboard suspension, the better your car
will behave - you'll have a better connection between your Camaro
chassis and the ground.
BOA and CIRC System Included - Proven
durable technology taken directly from our Corvette Coilovers has
been included in the Camaro Coilovers as well. Our BOA (Ball on
Axis) upper mount allows a really wide articulation range and low
friction upper mount needed to keep the rear shocks functioning
perfectly over the long term. The CIRC System (Concentric
Integrated Remote Canister) substantially increases the gas volume
within the shock for more consistent performance over a wide range
of temperatures. The CIRC System offers all of the benefits of an
external canister shock without the hassle of mounting the canister
or added weight. Both the BOA and CIRC systems are quiet, durable
and 100% maintenance free!
Specially Chosen Spring Rates - All of our
coilover products use a standard motorsports style spring. The
spring rates that are shipped with the coilovers are an excellent
choice for both great daily drivability and significantly improved
handling. However, if you find yourself drag racing or Road
Racing/Autocrossing quite heavily we can customize a spring package
to help you get the most out of your coilovers!
Significantly Lighter - We have moved away
from a steel housing and moved to lightweight aircraft-grade
aluminum housings. You will remove an amazing 10lbs of weight per
front coilover compared to stock, and an equally amazing 7lbs per
shock in the rear. That's a total weight savings of 34lbs just by a
suspension change alone! Not only are the entire assemblies
significantly lighter, but because of the inverted shock design it
places more of that weight on the sprung side of the vehicle for
even greater performance. No other coilover is lighter.
Stronger - Because of the precision
machining, aircraft-grade aluminum construction and hard anodizing
of the front and rear coilover housings they are significantly
stronger than both factory shocks and our previous generation
coilovers. We've done both computer analysis and real world
durability testing on the factory housings and found that our new
Pfadt housings are significantly stiffer than the factory parts.
This large increase in stiffness is just one more way that we
improve suspension precision under hard cornering! No other
coilover is stronger.
Compatibility - We know that not everyone
wants to keep their cars completely stock. This goes for the owners
of every model Camaro from V6, to SS, and even ZL1 and the eventual
1LE... folks are going to want to get more out of their cars than
how they came from the factory. That's why we developed our Camaro
Coilovers on our own Pfadt Race Engineering ZL1. By disabling the
Magnetic Ride Control System and installing a true performance
coilover package everyone with a Camaro, including ZL1 owners, can
see the huge performance improvements that a well engineered
Coilover package will provide!
Proven Durability - Durability and Quality Control are
incredibly important when building a world class suspension
package. Use of a shock dyno is absolutely critical to properly
dialing in the exact damping rates we are tuning into each
coilover. Naturally, before each production coilover is completely
assembled it is verified on our shock dyno, so you can be assured
that our coilovers are going to perform exactly how we designed
them to. The video below is two quick clips taken from our failure
testing cycle... We are putting forces into each of these housings
that would ONLY ever be seen in a completely catastrophic
collision. However, the data we collect with testing like this
verifies that what we design on the computer translates into real
life design improvements!
Finally we have an example of how our entire coilover package
puts it all together during our durability testing on our Damper
Destroyer! This is a tool that allows us to simulate thousands of
road miles in a very short time frame to verify that our coilovers
are going to work great for years to come. In the video is an
example of a rear Camaro coilover passing over 500,000 thousand
continuous cycles. You can also see how the BOA upper mount is
crucial in keeping the entire coilover bind free even with big
changes in articulation. Pfadt coilovers are the only ones with
this bind-free feature.
There are a lot of reasons to take a look at our Pfadt Race
Engineering FeatherLight Camaro Coilovers. Ride height control,
performance, durability, and knowing that there is a company with
our real world engineering expertise to back our products up. We
absolutely love our Camaro coilovers and we know that everyone who
ends up with a set will too!
