    New shocks from Ahlman Engineering

    As Hooked on GT, FBA and MNJason know they had to wait a few months to get this Ohlins TTX Ahlman Performance Stage II Coilovers. Supply has been a big issue. I get four new sets of these in next week and I do not have not ETA for more at this time. The last 6 sets sold in one week. Anyone...

    New shocks from Ahlman Engineering

    Thank you roketman, JaxGT, SpecRacer, Hooked On GT, AlexHay3 and MNJason for the continued support and feedback. The Ford GT and our upgraded Ohlins TTX suspension for this beauty embody the kind of chassis engineering that is so fun, rewarding and never feels like work with my intent being to...

    OEM part number for FGT snow chains?

    Great video and driving - post title caught my attention...Interestingly, the normal tire clearance envelope standards include tire chain clearance- tire chains or cables were not included for the FGT design :)

    Should or Must do's for tracking GT.... + prep

    Stu, checking on pad options for you. Awaiting timing of the ST43's we run as well. Yes we have had great results with the Brembo HTC64T. I run ~3-4 500 ml bottles with just gravity bleeding to all four corners (one at a time) on the R8 until they run clear once per year because of track...

    2005-06 Ford GT Build from Scratch Project

    Hi SkeletonGT, Gotcha - I wasn't aware anyone in the UK (or elsewhere) at this time that had the proper upper mount for the FGT coilovers to bolt to the FGT frame. So you have me curious! Is your R8 V10 a manual? We have a '12 R8 V10 MT with our Ohlins suspension. So good on the road and...

    2005-06 Ford GT Build from Scratch Project

    SkeletonGT, cool project! You note a wide body - I did not see if you are doing your own arms as well? Do you have a plan for springs and damping? Scott

    Heads-up on OEM Shock Replacements

    Sounds good...I did not see anything from our website...there must be an issue with my site. ~95% of my Ford GT customers (~60 sets over 6 years) go with the SL-1 two way package with the car lowered 0.75" on average up to 1" for some. More linear/direct steering, more consistent and less...

    Heads-up on OEM Shock Replacements

    Mark, Sounds good. Yeah I have not seen or heard of the shaft "freezing" at full extension like this before.

    Heads-up on OEM Shock Replacements

    Hmmm, this locked shock at full extension/rebound I have not heard of or seen, but I do not have a lot of experience with other manufacturers beyond Ohlins and Multimatic (I was the design and release engineer on the stock FGT dampers with Multimatic). To my knowledge, Ford did not store nor...

    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    That 80%+ of those 60 customers are this Ford GT Forum customers. They all have the 2-way SL-1's except I had three forum customers early on get the RT-1 setup with the four-way adjustables. One used them at the track and I helped him dial in for specific corners, corner entry and bumps. That...

    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    98% of the are the SL-1 package (Street Lowered). Great balance of ride, handling and steering for the road mostly and the track a little. Our customers agree this set up rides as well as stock or better. But gives them more confidence and capability on the road and track.

You can see more details on our website (https://www.ahlmanperformance.com/products#/ford-gt-shock-overview) to compare and feel free to ask...
