I got mine on Wednesday. Still waiting on the camber kit and for the weather to warm up enough to be able to work in the garage before I can install them.

Shipping sets every week. That was the biggest sale weekend in Pfadt history. I guess we've gotten too popular for our own good lol. We have our guys working OT and shipping like crazy. Sit tight, PM me your order info and I can see where you are in line. I have a huge batch coming off the testing dyno any day now

Did you order them directly from Pfadt or a vendor that also sells them?

When I ordered a set on sale from a vendor it took close to 2 months to get them. I was told at the time from the vendor, that the manufacturer Pfadt was on hold for some parts?? This was when they first came out back in 2011 if I remember right. Probably a supply and demand thing back then.

Not yet. Still waiting on the camber kit.

The instruction pdf has recommended settings for ride height and shock damping. I plan to start there and adjust based on feel.

Scooter, what camber kit did you get? I bought my car used and the front was pretty much lowered all the way with the stock bolts and the rear was riding pretty high. With this weather I haven't been able to drive it very much after the install, so I can't comment on settling. I did lower the perches about 6 rotations lower on the coils from how pfadt shipped them. Front ride height went down about 1/8" and the rear is a full inch lower. I know I need an alignment, hope I don't need a camber kit..car looks and drives great the couple times I took it out. Damper settings are at pfadt's recommended "street" settings

Thats probably what I'm gonna do as these have "shipped twice" now and from doing a search I see I'm not alone.
At this point the excuse doesn't even matter, I wont make this mistake again.

Or not...I've been waiting for almost a month for Bobby at LG to tell me their shipment of GT 2's has arrived. Still waiting.

I thought about getting the Pfadt coilovers instead. But after reading the above, I guess I'm gonna have to wait either way.

Ive been running the feather lights for a year now. They are very good and do a lot for comfort and handling. Worth the wait. Pfadts just overloaded right now. I only just got my headers I ordered on black friday. Long wait, but they are so worth it. 50whp and tq from them. Great quality stuff.

Nuke, what damper settings are your running? I have mine set on the pfadt recommended street settings, and while not uncomfortable per se, it is pretty stiff.

If just driving around i put them all the way loose. Its very comfy. If you want to go out and have fun, simply reach under at all 4 corners and tighten them up. When I drag Ive found loose up front and stiff in the rear works well.
