I have Bilsteins on my '95 but would like to move over to the Koni's which I have heard are much better than the Bilsteins. Don't get me wrong the Bilsteins where a nice upgrade from what the car had on it stock. The Koni's are just a better shock, and you pay for it. :cheers:

Pfadt Race Engineering will be releasing these shocks in the very near future! Pfadt Race Engineering saw a large void in the C4 market for a High Performance replacement shock that has adjustability so here they are! The shock body was engineered specifically for the Corvette where as most replacement shocks are used for everything and adapted to the application.
The shock bodies are shortened which works great for lowered applications as well as stock ride height applications. Basically the shocks won't act like a bump stop if your Vette is lowered! With 16 points of compression and rebound adjustment these shocks will make your C4 handle like a Corvette should!
Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions!

Near future... I'm in the market for some replacement shocks too and would like to know if I should hold out and wait for your shocks to be released. Do you have an more concrete time frame for release? Any additional info would be appreciated.
Thanks
