    Many thanks to Ron Reineke for the great work he did rebuilding the suspension on my '98 355 GTS. While I had no suspension issues like shock warning lights I could tell under spirited driving that the car could be improved quite a bit. So, I purchased new wishbone and sway bar bushings and adjustable drop end links and took the car to Ron. The shocks were shipped to Deltavee Motorsports where they were rebuilt, revalved and had hyperco springs installed. Ron replaced the bushings and after re-assembling, corner weighted the car and set the alignment specs to a little more aggressive than stock.

    After 270 miles in the N Ga mtns this past Saturday (thanks Will & Bob!) all I can say is wow! This has to be how the car felt when new. Stable, balanced, confidence inspiring. Tremendous difference. Ron as usual did fantastic work and was a great source of information in setting up the car. Two thumbs up!

    He did a total rebuild on a friend's 85 308 last year. It drives like a new car - WAY better than mine. The difference is remarkable

    Sounds like the guy for my Mondial T. It is suffering from shock issues. How do I contact Ron?

    Ron is an outstanding ferrari mechanic. Highly recommended. Glad your 355 came out well! Was yours the car he had problems finding or rebuilding the shocks with?

    No, I had everything set up with Rob at Deltavee re: the shocks so once Ron removed them he shipped them up to Rob for the shock rebuild. Rob turned them around in a week during which time Ron was replacing the bushings etc. Both Ron and I were happy with the quality of Deltavee's work.
