Does the Ford GT elec-TRON R1 kit include the DCU needed to run it?

Yes. The DCU is included with every Ford GT elec-TRON R1 kit and manages the solenoid valves independently, since the 2005-2006 Ford GT doesn't have a factory electronic damping system to integrate with.

Does the Ford GT elec-TRON R1 require manual adjustment like the mechanical NTR kits?

No. This kit is fully controlled by the solenoid valve and DCU, so there are no manual compression or rebound clicks to set, the system handles adjustment on its own.

How quickly does the elec-TRON system adjust damping?

The DCU adjusts all four dampers roughly every 5 milliseconds based on the car's braking, cornering, and acceleration forces, faster than a human eye can complete a single blink.

Can the driver still influence how the suspension feels, or is it entirely automatic?

Both. The DCU's control knob gives access to pre-installed Rain, Tour, Sport, and Race maps, so the driver picks the overall character while the system keeps making fine adjustments automatically underneath whichever map is selected.

Is the Ford GT elec-TRON R1 kit built specifically for the Ford GT, or is it a shared part across multiple cars?

The elec-TRON R1 hardware shares its core technology with Nitron's R3 platform, but the springs, damping characteristics, and mounting are engineered specifically for the Ford GT's geometry and weight distribution, not adapted from another vehicle.

Can the kit be ordered with custom spring rates?

Yes. Every kit is custom built to order, and custom spring rates beyond the standard setup are available by contacting us directly for a consultation.

Description

Nitron elec-TRON R1 Coilover Kit for Ford GT (2005-2006)

Nitron’s Ford GT elec-TRON R1 kit takes the guesswork out of dialing in damping by handing full control to Nitron’s DCU rather than leaving it to manual adjustment clicks. Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve, fitted individually to each shock, adjusts compression and rebound in real time based on what the car is actually doing, not a fixed valve position chosen ahead of time. Since the 2005-2006 Ford GT doesn’t come with a factory electronic damping system to plug into, this kit runs as a standalone setup, with Nitron’s own DCU included to manage the solenoid valves independently rather than trying to interface with electronics the car was never built with. The hardware underneath all of that traces directly back to Nitron’s R3 race platform, covering the same broad adjustment range without asking the driver to set anything manually to get the most out of it. Every kit includes adjustable top mounts and race springs, and it’s custom built and fully serviceable, giving a Ford GT owner race-derived electronic damping without needing to understand click counts or compression curves to use it well.

elec-TRON

Nitron’s elec-TRON system is built around a proprietary proportional solenoid valve fitted to each individual shock, giving the DCU independent, precise damping control at every corner of the car. The system reads g-load, vehicle speed, road surface, and driver input at the same time, adjusting damping every six milliseconds, faster than a human eye can finish a single blink. That speed means the suspension responds to what’s actually happening under the car in real time rather than reacting a beat behind it. elec-TRON comes in two forms depending on the platform, OEM-Integration for cars with a factory electronic damping system already built in, and Standalone Electronic Damping for cars that don’t have one. The Ford GT falls into the second category, so this kit runs entirely through Nitron’s own DCU rather than tying into anything from the factory.

elec-TRON DCU (Damper Control Unit)

The DCU is what turns a passive damper setup into a semi-active one. It reads data on the car’s attitude and the forces acting on it, braking, cornering, and acceleration, and uses that information to decide where each elec-TRON valve should sit, adjusting all four dampers roughly every 5 milliseconds. The result isn’t just a set of high-performance dampers, it’s a suspension that keeps recalculating grip and comfort on its own for as long as the car is moving. A control knob on the DCU gives the driver access to a handful of pre-installed maps, Rain, Tour, Sport, and Race, so the overall character of the damping is still something the driver chooses, even while the fine adjustment underneath keeps happening automatically.

Unique Technology

Every Nitron shock begins as a set of precision-machined components long before it becomes a finished damper, and each one is inspected individually by a trained technician rather than checked by sample. The modular construction underneath the elec-TRON platform lets Nitron develop an application like this Ford GT kit on its own terms, without borrowing shortcuts from whatever’s already sitting on the production line. New materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes only get adopted after extensive validation, and Nitron-specific technology runs through the whole build rather than being bolted onto a generic damper afterward. That’s the standard the brand has operated on since it started, and it’s the reason Nitron dampers hold up against the competition on both the street and the circuit.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron doesn’t start with a generic damper and adapt it until it fits the Ford GT, it starts with the Ford GT. Every application is developed from the ground up, with components, spring rates, and damping characteristics chosen for this specific platform rather than carried over from something in a similar weight class. The car’s geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel shape the design from day one, not as a correction applied after the fact. That’s the difference between a kit engineered for a Ford GT and a kit that was simply made to fit one.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
