Agreed. I pushed one of our CP builds at Road America in stock condition (fluid, pads, rotors) and the brakes performed well with great feel and no fade. I our 2012 Audi R8 V10 I warped and faded the stock rotors and Endless Blue Pads in 15 minutes at Road America. It was not up to the task...

What is pictured above is their new B-M6 Caliper and significantly upgraded rotors in size (diameter and thickness), slotted, two-piece floating, cooling. These new calipers as a result are bigger, wider and more rigid with all internal hydraulic passages (no external tubing). The system comes...

I just checked with Apex and I can leave my trailer and tow vehicle there that day for the week. I would check with them, but I am guessing they have plenty of space.

Chip, Thank you for the invite. I will be there with my GF. And my other GF...Audi R8 V10 :)

Brembo has a new system out there specific to your '05-'06 FGT also for rotors and calipers in the colors shown below...to upgrade Andy's once grey calipers!

https://www.ahlmanperformance.com/products/girodisc-ford-gt-rear-2-piece-rotors-1031 Thank you, Andy. I just saw your thread Enzo101. Andy is correct above on the Girodiscs's for FGT. Such a great all American made product for pedal feel, cooling, lack of fade, weight and durability. We run...

Awesome! Such a great article for someone so well deserved, Rich!

It has been a while since I have been here. A bit of this thread is surprising to me to read. Rich Brooks is one of the hardest working, give it to you straight, most capable and most professional people I have worked with in my 27 year career from the FGT through NASCAR Cup and IndyCar. Rich...

You guys helped sell two sets quickly. Thank you. Two left. Wish I had better supply. Been working on improving it. But COVID has increased demand and reduced supply.

Our Öhlins TTX Ahlman Performance Stage II FGT set up allows up to one inch lowering, but they are intended and work well at stock ride heights, which a few customers have requested for their usage and have given the same feedback as above.

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...

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...

Great to hear @FBA! Thank you for the feedback and endorsement.

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 :)

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...

Good advice...a lot are going with Xpel Tracwrap for this now which is a temporary clear.

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...

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

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...

Ummm, Barry, I think you are doing something wrong! lol
