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

[SYCO GT]

I was noticing the setting you had was way higher than mine.... maybe a few inches?
My ring collar is probably about 1/2" from the bottom thread to get a 4" underbelly clearance on stock rims and BStone rubber.

Here is a pic of the front and rears to compare with your front and rears. Let me know if you are still observing a significant difference or if these appear set up the same as yours with respect to height.

I also have the rebound and compression settings which my aerospace engineer independently checked and verified prior to install.

And we measured heights of static vehicle.

Rear is max down

Bridgestones? Would like to see a profile shot of your car with these settings.

The 1st pic was taken 28" from the floor (tire height).
A 3/4" piece of wood just sits flat on the tire and just clears the arch.

Thanks,

Any of the whole car? I am curious as to ho the car sits with the rear coil-over turned down like yours.

Looking for a set of Scott’s shocks.
Anyone got a set they want to sell?

Are you used to the US yet where a "1 by" is only 3/4"?

My 5lb fish are actually 4.
Alternative facts...

Your Ford GT appears to be almost an inch lower than my front, if our measured points are the same.

I believe he just had 20 sets made. May want to check with him and see if they are already all sold.

You in lumpy CA and me in flat FL = doable ride height for me

(Oops, now see that you had already reached out to him) I talked to him Friday. He’s having problems with the anodizing process but thinks he will be back in business in a few weeks. If you don’t find a set from another user I bet first quarter 24 there will be availability from Scott’s site. (Which is back up now)

Cars & Coffee Gainesville FL today, with the original Base wheels back on ... I like 'em!

While I've always preferred THE BBS your car looks really good with the base wheels - I have a set of them still in the box so may have to mount them up

Thank you ... although what's funny, I've since swapped back to the Upgrades ... and now I don't like em as much!! As someone else commented, the Base wheels look unique to the GT, whereas there seems to be quite a few variations of the Upgrade wheel on other cars out there. But besides that now seeing my car in the garage with the Upgrades I just don't think it looks as good. What a serious problem to have to decide between wheels on your Ford GT

Why 53? Just curious lol

The BBS optional wheels in 2005 were unusual, but now many wheels have copied that look. As mentioned above, the base GT wheels are pretty unique, especially with those "spinner" caps.

It's my niece's favorite number.

Drove my '06 black stripe delete to the Segerstrom Shelby Center show. Yes, the new clamshell struts are nice, was able to confidently display with an open clamshell during part of the show. Nice to see Jim's Tungsten FGT also at the show and swap GT stories with him.
