I met Scott Ahlman at the 2020 Ford GT Rally. He is a nice guy with some very impressive credentials - Ford engineer, MIT graduate, and he designed the original Ford 05/06 suspension. But Ford put some restrictions on his original suspension design - something about being able to put chains on the tires. (Actually, that was a really good idea - I took my car all the way across northern Canada, west coast to east coast and back last year in February. I don't know how I could have made it w/o those chains!) Scott explained that he had designed a new suspension system for our cars that lowered it and provided much better handling.
Last year I purchased Scott’s suspension kit and had Rich Brooks install it. Obviously I was asking myself – "Gee - is this worth all the hassle and the dollars?" Answer – Absolutely! The improvement in car handling and my confidence level in going into a corner – something to experience.
Ok Bill, but give us a calibration measurement.
Remember when you switched from Goodyears to Bridgestone tires? Scott’s suspension is equal to that step-up in performance! Think of it as Bridgestone + Ahlman Suspension = 2xBridgestone!
