The ultimate repost. Quoting a thread from camaro5 in a new thread about the exact same subject.

How does a company like this close? if we can do any thing to help let us know.

SamHouseIII · 02-25-2014, 10:44 PM

Man, my luck, first Pedders, now Pfadt and I just ordered sways and now I had just ordered Headers and Cats from JRE....I sure hope they have them on stock!!!

Todd in Vancouver · 02-25-2014, 10:44 PM

That is a stand up thing to do. Pfadt looking after it's customers and coming straight to everyone and telling straight from them as to what is going on. I've been in this car game most of my life and these situations all to often start with a thread asking what has happened to company XYZ and leaves a bunch of customers hanging and out a bunch of cash.

Although I'm new to the C5 group and have only had my car a few months I've heard and read about your products. But, more than that you are straight, stand up man to deal with this personally and you are more of what we need in this business. Wish you the best of whatever you do in the future but I'm sure you'll be fine. Quality people are far and few these days.

Ivan @ Southwest Speed · 02-25-2014, 10:54 PM

Sad to hear the news recently..was hoping it was a bad joke when we did earlier this week.

We'll all look forward to your return and abilty to bring back your employees and team in the future.

Good luck Aaron and we'll hold on to the Pfadt Development Vehicle license plate on the Stingray for ya.

Sad news. Our suspension options are getting smaller for the 5th gen Camaro. At first it was Pedders and now it's Pfadt. Both of which I thought were the premier suspension companies for our cars because they seemed to embrace "quality, not quantity".

PfadtRacing · 02-25-2014, 11:23 PM

So many kind words. Thanks again everyone. Glad to see people are checking their accounts and receiving their refunds. The Camaro crowd is so strong and many times I find myself waving at a Camaro owner when they drive by me (because I feel like we must know each other) and 9 times out of 10 the owner will wave back. It's things like that, that made us so happy to be in the Camaro market. Watching Camaro5 rally around the Hoopers was another great instance. Watching the Moreno's build a work of art and get all of us excited about putting that extra bit of effort into our own cars because now we know it can be done. Waiting for FSP to peel the tires off their monster build they are doing...the list goes on... There are so many positive traits in the Camaro world that most outsiders would never expect from a bunch of guys & gals driving loud badass muscle cars, but we will never forget that and continue to speak highly of all the Camaro drivers we have met over the years.

I agree.

mmarx82 · 02-26-2014, 12:07 AM

I had ordered the ZL Stage 3 Suspension and received all but the sway bars, can you tell me if they got shipped or do I need to ask for refund from 510RaceEngineering since I ordered through them? Sorry to see you guys go but glad I did get the Tri-Y's just in time.

Wow this sucks, I was just now jumping in heavy on the pfadt bandwagon... Got my tri-y's a few months ago and on feb4 I ordered the trailing arms and tie rods and stage 2 zl spec package.

I hope they got shipped (purchased through apex)....Looks like I may have waited a little too long..

CRTZL1 · 02-26-2014, 03:41 AM

Wow real bummer to hear this. PFadt is such a name in this camaro world!
Hope to see that you guys make it back bigger and better if that's possible.
Very happy I ordered my springs about a month ago and got them a few weeks later.

t&t moyer · 02-26-2014, 04:18 AM

Man, I don't log in and check things out for a bit of time and this is what I'm met with...... Besides learning that Pedders USA is out too.

I'm glad I bought a set of Pfadt headers a few months ago. I hope the best for the Pfadt crew and for a speedy "recovery".
