458 Aftermarket shocks from eBay?

That's like 10X cheaper... If it were me, I would contact a place like Ferrparts or ExoticsAutoRecycling and get a used one before using one off ebay that is supercheap (relatively) speaking.

 

I don’t know for me when it’s some thing as important as a suspension component on a high-performance car I wouldn’t take any chances.

 

if it's as hard as you say to find replacements......... for 200 bucks, **** why not. Try it and see.

 

Years from now someone will share this in a forsale thread for this car haha

IMO for 200 bucks it's worth a shot

 

You can send you shock here and have it refurbed.

I don't know where you're located but there are aftermarket suspension shops that will rebuild shocks. In north Texas there is one called Inertia Labs. You might reach out to them and see if they can help you.

I found a US rebuilder, $795/one shock, in Fort Lauderdale, FL: https://rebuildmastertech.com/ferrari-458-2009-2015-oe-rebuilt-replacement-front-left-right-shock-absorber-301450/

 

I bought a pair from this seller and had the indy install them for leaking front shocks found on a PPI. Indy had no problems, issues or concern installing them and is a reputable Motorsports shop.They ride fine and respond to the bumpy ride mode quite well. To me they are indistinguishable from OEM. We'll see how long they last but I could buy 4-5 sets of them before spending as much for Original Ferrari parts. Esp since some of these cars are driven for very short distances over their lifetimes. If you are tracking then that is another matter.

 

Which seller are you referring to?

Awesome. Cool to see that someone is using them.

 

Yes, I can feel a difference in bumpy road setting, albeit slight. Illinois roads are crap and bumpy road setting is not optioned in race mode. It is in sport mode. No electrical issues. They seem fine for my type of driving and I can but 4-5 sets of shocks if needed for the price of the Ferrari taxed ones. They seem fine to me and the installed had no issues with them, and did not discourage me from using them.

 

I have used these in the past without any issues. For the price paid they are very good.

2 of mine where leaking and for the price I got a set of 4 for at the time and for what they even cost now no way will I pay the Ferrari Tax for their shocks that will eventually leak

I’ve got mine lowered with spacers and it drives awesome

So win win
