Now for the rest of the story.
Lou basically states the damage was caused by the other vendors inferior coilover design.
Other vendor being Pfadt Racing.
Pfadt's position is that running over a 6x6 with a Vette should fall under the accident catagory and same damage could occur with any coilover design. Car in question is exceeding it's factory recommened suspension travel limits at the point it drives over a 6x6.
Lou makes video to back up claims that his design would not have the same effect. See Lou jump 6x6 nominal block in original post. Block actual size is 5.5x5.5 which Lou later confirms.
Pfadt performs the same test to prove his coilover is just as capable as Lou's setup.

Pfadt extreme coilove test
Pfadt uses an actual rail road tie. Lou states the tie may be cut down, suggesting it is not as tall as a standard RR tie, which is not true. Below the pic shows the dimensions of at minimum 6" and higher than 6" at the center for the Pfadt test.
In my opinion they both have great products, but one vendor should not take advantage of an
accident to promote his product and trash the other vendor.
And yes I have the Pfadt coilovers and am very satisfied with the product and have yet to see better customer service in the automotive aftermarket.
