Sad to see pfadt go. Hope for a speedy return.

I received most of my order and the parts appear to be correct. However, I have been waiting for the last parts end links to show up and have not installed the others yet.

Now for the uncomfortable question...

Will there be a contact for fitment issues or problems? I'm sure the parts will be fine but I have saved for the parts for a while and would hate to be out a fairly sizable chunk of money depending on the part.

Sorry for this d*ck question.

Thanks FnD

Not a bad question at all. You will be able to reach us via Facebook if any problems arise.

good luck for a quick come back!

This is suckage. Hope you guys are back soon. Your products rock. Glad I did my car early on. The ZL1 sway bars are awesome. Will be rooting for you guys to do a come back just like I did for wonder bread.

this is very sad to hear. I guess I am one of the last customers. I just ordered every thing in my sig on 2-12 and it shipped on the 21st. I dont think there is anyone left to fill the void. At least I got some of the best parts ever made for the 5th gen Camaro. Maybe I will find a used set of your coil overs when I can do them. I hope someone will come along that has the money to invest in some of the best parts available. If I had one the bower ball may be you would have had a investor.

Sorry to see you guys go, not just the name PFADT, but the people behind it too, I know its tough.

I sent a PM about a possible repair on a item, to see if its still possible.

kosmo · 02-25-2014, 05:13 PM

This just plain sucks! Hurry back! I for one will still be here! Good luck guys!

Very sad indeed, another top performance company shuttering its doors within the last few months.

Very sorry to hear this...

I was just considering ordering springs in the very near future.. I hope you guys are back soon... Best of luck!

Again, I say, this makes no sense whatsoever. This is every small business's dream. All they had to do was stop taking new orders for a while until they got their backlog under control. In the meantime, raise your prices to cool demand. Then open the order window for a few days at the start of the month. It's called management 101. Something's fishy with this.
