Got my GT......feels soft...susp mods??


Dealmaker -

I have an extra set of KWs for my GT which I have decided not to use. Let me know if you want them. They are at Heffner's shop right now.

In my opinion this is an essential upgrade to these cars... feedback and confidence is so much better with the new springs.

Post some pics of your other toys :biggrin

Carrera GT is one of my favorites :cheers
 
Out of interest is it the 3 way adjustable KW set you have?

Model/type

Am planning to source this here in the UK but getting confused as to the exact type
 
I just got from Alex Szilagyi (mr2race) a set of Penske T&A single adjustable shocks and springs.Alex is the A of T&A AND Tom Reichenbach is the T .Alex was on the FGT engineering development team .Tom and Alex have many SCCA champions who use there set ups .Tom has also consulted for Ford to Nascar and F1 TEAMS I don't thing ANYONE knows shock ,,spring rates ,alignment ride height better than Alex & Tom.As well anything else you may need to know on the Dynamics of the Ford gt ! Not to take anything away from anyone else, but these guys are the real deal!!
Let me tell you this is the trick set up if you are not making a race car ,but want near perfect set up for street /track use . The part I really like is, simple! No fuss,no muss! .I will give a full report when I come back from Watkins Glen June 2,3, .

Peak,

Yes I'd be intresetd in your KW's - I am probably going to be ordering some stuff from Heffner anyway - so I can probably get shipped with that.

How much are you looking for for them? can you PM or mail me?

Here's some pics of the "fleet" when I had them all - need to get some of the FGT!!

Fine looking box of eye candy you've got there, Dealmaker!
 
Would love to get a look at the KW shocks.

Any one in the states want to loan us a set?

I could run them on the dyno and supply the owner documentation.

We could even do a down-town online comparison?

Look at the materials used, weight, even some on track testing ?

KW vs Penske throwdown?

Anyone up for this?
 
Alex, I sent you an email this morning. Im ready to buy a set of Penskes. :cheers
