Scott's Öhlins are the best!

I recommend you do it the other way around: upgrade the suspension amd tires first, then add power. Otherwise you will have a harder time controlling it.

You can search for my comments on Scott’s shocks—all positive—and my comments on setting them softer for street driving. I have about 20,000 miles on mine, so far.
I have always added the best value mods first, it is easier to fit within budget, but opinions differ

On settings, for me it has been about road quality, our roads here are decent so it is set more firm. But that is the best thing about adjustable systems....you're not stuck with one setting like stock cars.

Of note, any Ford GT forum members who want to order our suspension can send me their screen name and they will get a discount code for $500 off the suspension.

So if I send more than one screen name I get more $500 discounts?

Some of our customers have opted for stock ride height. No problem. This set up works well from stock ride height up to an 1” lower. Your choice.

90% of our customers go with 0.75” lower.

We will be finishing front lift systems to mate to these coilovers for Huracans and the FGT’s this year for those that want it.
Hi Scott,

Are details on the front lift system available?

Thanks

Not yet. Within the next month. We have to make changes to the end eye where it mounts on the shock shaft.

Also, we are doing them first for Huracans which already have front lift and only need the lift system at the coilovers and not the rest (compressor, tank and switch)

Therefore, the timing for the FGT will be later this year to ensure a robust system for it.

The lift system will retrofit to the coil overs already out there?

Yes with a change to the end eye. You would have to ship them back to me.

The harder part is going to be the package and placement of the air compressor, air tank and controls. Also a reliable wireless control or switch or a good place for wired control through the front firewall.

Sounds like there will be less space in the frunk when all is done.

I will wait to see how it turns out. I know these R&D projects are challenging and expensive to get fettled.

I would just note, there is a VAST difference between Scott's suspension setup and other brands, and they really shouldn't be compared. Driving dynamics is an art as much as a science and there is nothing else available with this level of vehicle-specific engineering available, and it shows when driving them comparatively.
