Talking My Sweet new/old shocks

Just got my new (well ok rebuilt) shocks back from Delta Vee Motorsports (http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Delta_Vee_Motorsports) and wanted to get some pictures up here on the site just so people can check them out if interested.

Bottom line the old ones were leaky and crappy and Rob from Delta Vee did an excellent job rebuilding / upgrading them. Should give the car a lot more stability this year on the track

It will be nice not to have a scary car to drive on the track. I never really noticed how wicked it was until you started talking about it after we switched cars.

I think the new bushings, and spring setup should help out a lot.

Yep my puppy Bella has to be in the middle of everything. She ate about half the damn packing peanuts when I was opening everything up. If you ever need your 355's rebuilt Carm I would recommend Rob...much better than the 2k for the rear set that FoA charges.

Bella, that is an awesome name for a pet. You do know that is an Italian word that means Beautiful right

As for Ferrari of ... I have come to realize just as you that you don't go anywhere near any Ferrari dealer for anything unless they are the last location, no let me say the only place on the planet that has what you need.

Yep we picked that name because normally I refered to my car with it.

I am happy with both know that FoNA is the worst possible place to buy any sort of parts. I only go to them if I absolutely need to get a part and cant find it anywhere else.
