How low can you DROP your Camaro for the street? PICS show you!

We are VERY excited to tell you that we just shipped out our entire first order of Pfadt Coilovers to our dealers/customers! We just thought it would be appropriate to show you the new look of our Pfadt Development car! What does everyone think?

We get this question a lot: How low can you drive your Camaro?
The pictures here represent the absolute lowest you can go on these units!

As a race engineering company, we really just did this for testing reasons, because we knew we designed enough travel in our Pfadt Coilovers to support driving at such a drastically low ride height. But we are here to tell you this is the DROP YOU CAN ACHIEVE with our new PFADT COILOVERS!

The most un-drivable aspect of this ride is that the front airdam is 2.25" from the ground! So you will run into problems in that respect, but not in the suspension travel. Click on only picture to go to our entire gallery of these shots. Then click again for full-size views. We will get some professional shots of this, as well as some video coming up.

Check the pics of some the coilovers before they got shipped out!

So how low can you actually go....you know without ripping off parts of your front bumper.

HA! Yeah, well that is a relative question with no definitive answer. We drove around Salt Lake with no issues. But the answer to the question will be relative to road conditions and general lay of the land!

Im sure we will get customers using our coilovers at this ride height telling us their personal experience with their local roads. So hopefully everyone doesn't go too far down for their area!

What is the drop from original drive height in the pics?

Not always a big fan of mega drops. But that sure does look awesome. Loving the paint scheme and the black wheels.

It looks good at that height. But for a daily driver it might be too much. A 2" drop all around sounds like it would be a safe bet. How much for a set of those coil overs?

Thanks! Glad the paint and wheels are getting some response. There is actually a nice orange pinstripe detail on the wheel that you can not see in the dark pics. Looks even better in person.

We agree, mega drops are not the point of our engineering efforts. We just wanted to show everyone what these are capable of.

We agree. 2" is a great lowering value.

that stance is awesome on that car, wheels are nicely tucked into the fenders.
