    Hi all - is there anyone in the USA that rebuilds the shocks for the 458? I've noted some previous threads noting a few places in the EU, but I'm concerned about having to deal with tariffs on the way back in given the chaos surrounding that right now (yes I realize these are not new parts, but nothing is clear at this point).

    Thanks

    Todd

    You have the website which has the number. Call them to find out, I'm not a reseller for them. I'm not sure they do rebuilds but they will know where to send you for someone that does.

    For what is is worth be very careful who you chose to rebuild the shocks. Much more difficult if you have the front lifter. I used Continental Ferrari out of Chicago and they sent all four of my shocks to be rebuilt to a company in Poland. Tariffs werent an issue as the parts were used. They also came with a one year warranty. About a three week turnaround with shipping.

    Nice attitude. You posted a website that has ZERO information on strut rebuilds.

    Slow your roll dude. I did post someone that does rebuilds. OP didn't like their reviews.

    I then suggested another source that could tell them where to get rebuilds from. I never said GTE did rebuilds, I wrote they could direct OP to someone that does. GTE Engineering does all sorts of Ferrari part rebuilds and have a great reputation. It's a source you can call for referrals because its not like they wouldn't know where to direct someone or it would be the first time they were asked this specific question. Does that make sense? o_O

    I'm always reluctant to post replies or help people that take from this forum and never give back. Your response is exactly why.
