I recently had to replace the front shocks in my GT, at only 5500 miles!
It ruptured a seal and lost compression suddenly, after hitting a pothole in the road I am guessing. Everything else is fine, and just one front was affected, but I replaced both.
Is it possible to get them rebuilt, and if so, anyone any ideas on who could do it? At almost £800 each to buy, I reckon its well worth a rebuild!!!

The shocks are labeled Dynamic Suspensions, a US company I assume.
I have tried Gaz, they cannot offer a rebuild on this shock.

There's a specialist shocks place at Silverstone that I had some Sachs springs rebuilt by, but this may be too specialist for them. They were very professional as far as it goes.

Worth an email? dampers@bgmotorsports.co.uk

Or, Mountune are the UK service agent for GTs I believe, so they may be able to advise.
