Havent seen anything online yet, but usually someone like H&R would be the first company to have a full kit out for it. Rears are adjustable but Ive never seen the front to be able to tell you if they are adjustable or not.

I hope that some come available soon. The sae report from Ford concering aerodynamics says that if the rake is increased the downforce on the front is increased. It also states that by increasing the rake the uplift on the rear is increaded. I think an approach with the car at higher speeds on a smooth surface would be to lower the entire car 1 or 2 inches, maybe put a little rake in it and possibly a little nose weighting because the car is rear end heavy. Thanks for letting me post my thoughts.

The last thing you want at high speeds is more uplift on the rear!

Afraid of uplift, and backfliping your GT???
I think we are talking therory here... unless you plan on maxing out at 200MPH + when going over a crest... :eek

PS: I've have Öhlins coilovers in the making as we speak... the will be very tasty indeed...

Great stuff - then you know the quality of their products.
I'm going for the 46HRX which is a 3-way adjustable shock...

I've sent away my standard shocks, and Öhlins will make me a custom bolt-on set...
