Can FGT shocks be rebuilt

[TO AWSUM]

Is there a kit available to rebuild our stock shocks? My right rear shock is leaking with only 7K easy miles on them.

Unfortunately not. Sealed units. Buy another OEM shock, which can fail again or go aftermarket. Many here have gone with Scott Ahlman's Ohlins which are rebuildable and adjustable.

No the stock shock is sealed. It appears the leaking shocks heavily happen on lower mileage cars. I believe it happens when the car sits for long periods and the shaft seal dries out and then the next time it is driven damages the seal.

Another reason to drive the GTs

Thanks Scott. I try to get mine out for a few miles every couple of weeks. Guess even that is not enough driving. I just replaced it with an OEM shock at $502. Would love to install your suspension system, but no one close that I would trust to install it. Maybe someday the stars will align and I'll be where it can be done.

If you installed the OEM shock, you can install Scotts, he sends them ready to go. Simply remove OEM shock and spring, bolt the new one in, VERY easy.
