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!

Wow, slammed with good suspension travel !

Any issues with the tires kissing the inner fender that low?

Lets be honest, we will not be recommending this "lowest possible drop" ride height as the default ride height for your Camaro. With that said, we have the OEM wheel/tire combo on this vehicle, and only noticed interference (kissing the inner fender) at FULL Steering Lock and BIG hits (FULL bump). This happened when we tried to get it to hit. Didn't happen a single time just driving around.

Again, we did this just to show what is attainable, and the fact that you can drive to and from a show, with no suspension problems when using the OEM wheel/tire sizes. You may just have a couple of small animals in your front end!

Yeah, I can't imagine driving it that low on most public roads, but it sure does look good!
