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

I just checked my Ahlman shocks. I'm slightly below stock ride height, and I can go down another inch or a bit more. So, the minimum ride height will give you about 3-1/4" to 3-1/2" clearance under the car, however, you don't have a lot of suspension travel left if you go that low.

I have a curb that I have to gingerly cross, so perhaps even a 1/4 inch above stock height, as undesirable as it might sound, might actually make for easier entry and exits.

Does anyone know what stock ride height ground clearance typically is?

Right around 4.5" at the jacking points. However, if you switched to Bridgestones on the rear, they are about 1/2" less in diameter, thus the rear will sit down 1/4" or so, other things being equal. One of the things Scott Ahlman does when you order shocks from him is to ask you what tires you run, and if they are the Bridgestones, he will either raise the rear shocks 1/4" or lower the front shocks 1/4" to level the car, according to your preferences.

Penskes with my spring rates on. Took more time to place the reservoirs than swap out the coilover bodies. This was my first coilover install that required extending the suspension rather than compressing it on install.

Dropped the car 3/4" and the ride is OEM+
