Does this Ford GT elec-TRON R3 kit include the DCU?

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

How much lift does the standalone FAL provide?

The FAL raises the front axle 40mm at the shock, enough to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without changing the damping setup underneath.

Does the manual compression adjustment still work alongside the electronic control?

Yes. The independent manual high and low speed compression adjustment sets the mechanical baseline, and the DCU adjusts the solenoid valve in real time on top of that, so both systems work together rather than one replacing the other.

Does raising the FAL affect how the car drives once it's lowered back down?

No. The FAL only lifts the front axle when activated and returns to the set ride height afterward, so neither the manual nor the electronic damping settings change once it's back down.

Does the Nitron Ford GT elec-TRON R3 include the hardware to mount the reservoirs?

Yes. Reservoir mounting brackets are included along with the hose-mounted reservoirs front and rear, so nothing extra needs to be sourced for installation.

Can custom spring rates be ordered with this kit?

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 R3 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for Ford GT (2005-2006)

Nitron Suspension’s Ford GT elec-TRON R3 kit with standalone FAL adds a practical front-end lift on top of Nitron’s combined electronic and manual damping control. Hose-mounted reservoirs front and rear give independent manual adjustment over high and low speed compression, while the included DCU manages the solenoid valve in real time on top of that mechanical baseline. Because the 2005-2006 Ford GT never came with a factory electronic damping system, the DCU ships as part of this kit rather than as a separate purchase, and reservoir mounting brackets are included so nothing extra needs to be sourced for the install. The standalone FAL raises the front axle 40mm at the shock, clearing driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without touching the suspension setup or changing how the car drives once it’s back down. Adjustable top mounts and race springs come standard, and the whole kit is custom built and fully serviceable.

elec-TRON

The elec-TRON R3 pairs a proprietary proportional solenoid valve in each shock with independent manual compression adjustment, so the driver isn’t choosing between electronic control and a mechanical baseline, both work together. On the Ford GT, the DCU manages that solenoid valve entirely on its own, since the car doesn’t have a factory electronic damping system to plug into. The system reads g-load, vehicle speed, road surface, and driver input at once, adjusting damping every six milliseconds, well ahead of the 100 to 150 milliseconds it takes a human eye to blink.

elec-TRON DCU (Damper Control Unit)

The DCU is included with this kit and is what keeps the electronic side of the elec-TRON R3 running independently of the manual compression adjustment set at each corner. It reads the forces acting on the car under braking, cornering, and acceleration, and repositions each solenoid valve roughly every 5 milliseconds based on that data. A control knob on the unit switches between Rain, Tour, Sport, and Race maps, so the driver picks the overall character while the fine adjustment underneath keeps happening automatically, on top of whatever manual compression settings are dialed in.
- Supplied with a custom or universal wiring harness
- Utilizes Arm Cortex-M4 processor
- Independent control of 4 electronic dampers
- 6 position rotary control switch or visual rotary display and control allows user to access a number of pre-installed damping maps (x3 passive and x3 adaptive)
- 2x 3 axis accelerometers
- 1x 3 axis gyroscope
- 200 Hz damping control rate
- Configured for application location and settings
- Ideal for resto-mod applications
- Fully resin bonded

The Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)

A lowered Ford GT and a steep driveway don’t mix, and every owner running one eventually works out an angle of approach just to avoid a scrape. The Standalone FAL folded into this kit removes that step entirely, raising the front axle 40mm at the shock so the car clears the obstacle, then dropping back to ride height once it’s past. None of the damping setup, electronic or manual, changes when the lift is used, it’s there for the obstacle and gone once it’s clear.
- 250W pump
- 40mm lift height
- Typical lift time under 3-seconds
- Audible in-cabin warning system
- Switch with built-in warning light
- Auto off function
- Protects your car from damage caused by steep driveways and speed bumps
- Compatible with a wide range of suspension setups

Specialized Bi-Axis Hose Fittings

Nitron R3 Hose shocks use Nitron’s own 720 degree Bi-Axis fittings exclusively; a proprietary design that makes for clean, precise installation without the compromises that come with conventional end fittings.

Unique Technology

A Nitron shock doesn’t reach final assembly until its components have already been through a long process of machining, inspection, and validation. Every part is held to tight tolerance and checked individually by a trained technician, not sampled from a production batch, and the modular design behind the elec-TRON R3 gives Nitron room to build an application around this Ford GT kit’s actual requirements rather than adapting something already on the shelf. New materials, finishes, and processes only reach production after extensive testing, and Nitron’s own proprietary engineering carries through the whole build instead of being added onto a generic base. That discipline is what’s kept the brand ahead of the competition, on the street and on the track.

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron doesn’t take an existing damper and adjust the valving until it works on a Ford GT. The elec-TRON R3 for this platform is developed from the ground up, with components, spring rates, and damping characteristics chosen specifically for the car’s geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel rather than borrowed from something in a similar class. That’s the difference between a kit built around a Ford GT and one that was only ever adjusted 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.
