Second Generation Audi R8 Magnetic Ride Shocks (2016-2023)
Price range: $2,400.00 through $4,800.00
**Price shown is for a set of two shocks (front pair or rear pair), or a complete set of four**
What you are getting
These are fully remanufactured magnetic ride shocks. Each shock is disassembled at Nagengast’s facility in Gdansk, Poland, cleaned, inspected for damage, fitted with new components where needed, refilled with proper magnetorheological fluid, reassembled, tested, and painted before it ships. The result is a shock that performs to the same parameters as a new unit.
Why magnetic ride is worth keeping
If your shocks are leaking, it is tempting to convert to coilovers and be done with it. But the OEM magnetic ride system is genuinely excellent when it is working. It adapts to the road in milliseconds and delivers ride quality that a static spring rate cannot replicate. Most customers who go through the Magrides process are glad they did not convert.
Compatibility
Covers all 2008 to 2015 Audi R8 configurations: V8 and V10, Coupe and Spyder. V8 sets are physically compatible with V10 cars and work correctly. If ordering for a Spyder, please select that body style at checkout as the geometry differs from the Coupe.
Pricing
Prices shown are per pair (front pair or rear pair) or for a complete set of four. The refundable core deposit is added at checkout and returned once your old shocks are received in acceptable condition.
Installation note
Any independent shop familiar with the R8 can handle this installation. Budget roughly $500 to $1,000 for labor depending on your shop. Source new stretch bolts and locknuts from Audi (approximately $85) as these must be replaced any time the suspension is disturbed.
