Pfadt coilover problems
Bought a set of pfadts new gen coilovers for my ss about a year ago and they been nothing but problems! Ive had 3 coilovers leak completely out and now today was my 4th. Im getting tired of paying to swap them out and have an alignment every time! Ive probably paid more to swap them out then what the coilovers cost new! Every time i call they tell me its " extremely rare that it leaks because the coilover has a triple seal." Apparently not if ive had 4 within a year. The car is only driven on weekends on perfect days and sits in the garage probably 20 days a month so it cant be the wear and tear. And they dont send me new replacement coilovers, they send rebuilt ones. Has anyone else have this problem?

Hey not sure if anyone is still monitoring this thread but I am having a similar issue. I have already had one of my rear PFADT coil overs replaced and was just under the car doing a clutch change and noticed the other rear is soaked in oil. I haven't pulled it yet to be certain but I am almost positive that this one is almost completely empty also. If the guys at PFADT could figure this out and get some answers to us that would be greatly appreciated. My car is a daily driver and makes quite a bit of power for a v6 (almost 500 RWHP) but still, that's why I bought the PFADT's because they're supposed to be some of the best and should stand up to it.

Well that sucks, now I can't even get mine replaced under warranty. It's a shame they went out of business. When the shocks held fluid it was amazing what the coil overs did for the handling of the car. But then again if they can't build a decent seal to go with the rest of the unit I suppose it's no surprise they are out of business. I suppose it's time to start looking for a new pair. Thanks to all those who replied.
