What Customers Say
“My OEM mag rides had already been replaced twice on my car by 24,000 miles with factory replacements. I used Nagengast this time and I’m confident that his rebuild units will not have the inherent flaws of the factory ones. Two years later they are still perfect.”
Audi R8 owner
“Every single one was leaking… Here in Australia, Audi quoted me $6,100 AUD per corner. No chance I was paying that… At first I was skeptical… They showed me examples, explained their process and were super transparent. Within a week, a full set of rebuilt shocks arrived… Honestly the car feels like new. The suspension is responsive, smooth, and it feels even better than before.”

Common Questions
How long do I have to return my old shocks?
Please ship your cores within 15 days of receiving your rebuilt shocks for a full deposit refund. Cores that arrive after 15 days are still refunded, minus 20% of the deposit. We keep cores in rotation so the next owner with failed shocks isn't left waiting, and a quick return helps them get back on the road.
Is return shipping included?
No. You can add a return shipping label at checkout (USA and Canada, Europe, or worldwide), or arrange your own shipping.
Will I pay an import fee?
Possibly. Your shocks ship from our rebuild facility in Poland. U.S. customs doesn't always charge, but when it does the fee is typically $60 to $200, and can reach about $500 on higher-value shocks such as the McLaren P1 or Lamborghini Aventador. If charged, FedEx bills it to you at delivery. It is separate from your order total.
How long does it take?
If your shocks are in stock, we ship right away and most U.S. customers receive them within 5 to 10 business days. If not, we arrange pickup of your old shocks, Nagengast rebuilds them, and they're back with you in about 2 to 3 weeks.
What does installation cost?
Any independent shop familiar with your car can install them. It's the same job as fitting factory shocks. For an Audi R8, budget roughly $500 to $1,000 in labor depending on your shop. We recommend a 4-wheel alignment afterward.
What warranty do I get?
Every rebuilt shock comes with a 2-year warranty covering material and workmanship defects.
