    Has anyone found a reliable place to rebuild the shocks on the 512TR?

    I got mine done in a place in California
    I just google shocks
    I sent them 6 shocks when the car had 80k on it
    they came back fine
    I will have to look for the paper work on the place
    but any good shop can do the shocks
    its the bushings that are a pain
    get them first
    hope this helps
    PM if you need more information

    how many miles on the car?

    I had mine done with PSI, expensive but they came back great. I would send them the whole shock and they will reassemble it for you. I scratched mine while reassembling.

    Because you will have to get the new ones rebuilt also. They are NOS and the inside bushing deteriorates over time. Tim did a great write up on it.
